Macbeth Act 5

In the ending of the story it is quite humorous and shameful on Macbeth's part. After he kills Macduff's entire family, he is reluctant to fight and face Macduff. In the text it reads, "then yield thee, coward"(5.8.27). Many people love to create acts of wickedness but cower at the innocent blood to be repaid. This lets everyone know that you will always pay for the evil done by your hands and your wicked heart. I wonder if he would have still done the act if he knew this was his fate?
