Who is seyward in the play Macbeth?

I am not sure which character you mean: Siward, an English general, or Seyton, one of Macbeth's servants.


Do you like Lady Macbeth?

Do you mean Macbeth the person or Macbeth the play? Because it is possible to like the play and not like the person much.


What does unsex me here mean?

"Unsex me here" is a line from Macbeth where Lady Macbeth is asking to be stripped of her feminine qualities in order to be stronger and more ruthless. She is essentially asking to be rid of her compassion and sensitivity in order to commit violent acts without hesitation.


Macbeth scene 3 what does this line mean 'if chance will have me king why chance may crown me without my stir?

The tricky part is "without my stir". "Stir" comes from "stirring", waking up, moving about, doing stuff. "Without my stir" means "without me doing anything about it", so the line means "If chance (i.e. fate) will have me [be the] king, why, fate may crown me without me doing anything about it." The witches have told Macbeth that he will be the king hereafter, but they also told him that he was the Thane of Cawdor, and that came true without Macbeth doing anything about it. Maybe all he has to do to become the king is to wait and let fate take its course.
