Detailed explanation-1: -Within the castle, Macbeth blusteringly orders that banners be hung and boasts that his castle will repel the enemy. A woman’s cry is heard, and Seyton appears to tell Macbeth that the queen is dead.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seyton is Macbeth’s chief servant when his thanes are abandoning him. The fact that his name rhymes with ‘Satan’ may be coincidental. He helps to arm Macbeth, and reports the Queen’s death to him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Seyton appears, and Macbeth asks him for news, but the only news is what has already been reported. Macbeth avows that he will “fight till from my bones my flesh be hack’d” (5.3. 32), and calls for his armor.
Detailed explanation-4: -What does Macbeth want Seyton to do for him? Macbeth wants Seyton to send out the troops and put armor on him.
Detailed explanation-5: -When Macbeth hears of Lady Macbeth’s death, he responds that she was eventually going to die anyway-“She should have died hereafter” (5.5. 17)-just like everyone else.
