throughout the murders macbeth attitude has changed. When ordering the murder of macduffs family, Macbeth is much more focused on his goals and on what has to be done.
Macbeth has lost any trace of humanity left in him. In order to torture the rival Macduff he has ordered a murderer to kill Macduff's wife and son.
I think that he has been lost track of what his goals are, he now does everything out of sheer cruelty. Macbeth did not need have killed a woman and a child. If he was focused on securing the throne, he should have found Macduff himself, although that is not any more pure or noble than killing the family.
Macbeth has changed enourmously in his initial values and principles. That was what created the inner conflict in the character since he was ambitious about power but wasn't sure about doing atrocities. At this point of the story, we can realize that he no longer wishes to do what is correct but only that that will get him out of the hole he is falling in.
Markus, I have to disagree on how you think that he is more focused in his goals since I thought his goals was becoming king and sheding no blood (except for Duncan's)and also keeping his values, believes and principles.
As JP has said, Macbeth tries to torture his rival Macduff by killing his family and because of that he has lost his humanity that was left in him. I believe that he is so paranoid for his safety that provokes him to overdo his action, which probably led the fasten of his death. It also contradicts his character in the beginning because he fist could not kill Duncan until his wife pushed him and ended up having an illusion of a flying dagger. This time he is doing for his will, in order to protect himself.
