Macbeth now knows what he needs to do. He decides to commit again not only a murder but a massacre of the Macduff Family. He plans to raid Macduff's castle, seize the town of Fife, kill his wife and children and whoever else gets in his way. Before Macbeth sends his murderers to the castle, Lady Macduff and her son have a quite intriguing conversation about Macduff, her husband. Her son strongly believes his father is dead and wonders if his mother will find another husband. He also asks if his father was a traitor. Lady Macduff confesses that his father is a traitor because he made a promise and he broke it. A messenger interrupts their talk to warn them of danger. Later the murderer comes in asking for Macduff. The murderer insults Lady Macduff as he stabs her son to death. He chases after her and kills her too with the rest of the family.
