Detailed explanation-1: -unseamed him from the nave to the chaps… Macbeth drove his sword into the Madconwald’s stomach (near his navel), and pulled the sword upward until it reached his jaw (“chaps”)… basically cut him in half… going against gravity. In other words, Macbeth is a badass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth did not simply kill Macdonald; he “unseam’d him from the nave to the chops, / And fix’d his head upon our battlements” (22-23)-a reference that foreshadows Macbeth’s death at the end of the play.
Detailed explanation-3: -The verb ‘unseamed’ implies an ease in the brutal attack that Macbeth has made on his enemy. This shows that he is violent and ruthless. The word ‘seam’ is a homophone and could also hint at the deception that will follow: it might ‘seem’ as if Macbeth will be loyal, but the opposite turns out to be the case.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lennox, Ross, Menteth, Angus, Caithness Thanes of Scotland, all of whom eventually turn against the tyrannical Macbeth.
