Who says till he unseamed him from the nave to the chops?
In Act 1, Scene 2 Macbeth written by Shakespeare
Who was MacDonald in Macbeth?
In the beginning of Macbeth, when news is brought about the fight Macbeth has been fighting in, MacDonald is the guy he is fighting. Macbeth kills MacDonald by striking him in the nave and pulling it up to the chops meaning he stabs him at the navel and pulls it up through his hair. OUCH!
In scene two of Macbeth what did Macbeth do to macdonwald?
In the process of defeating Macdonweald he unseams him from the nave to the chaps. That is to say, he cut him open from the navel to the chin. Thereafter, he cut off his head and fixed it upon the battlements, which is to say, the castle walls.
The lineTill he unseamed him from nave to th' chops And fixed his head upon our battlements paints a different picure of MacBeth What can you inter from that line?
Macbeth killed Macdonweald in a particularly brutal way, by cutting him from the belly (the nave is the navel) to the chin (the chops--you've heard of licking one's chops?), then beheading him and displaying his head on the castle walls. From this you can infer that Macbeth is a pretty strong guy to be able to do that to another man. You can also get a sense of the brutality of the society of the time, not just of Macbeth, but if you read on, of the "meek" King Duncan who is delighted with this story and responds to it with "O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!"
What two great feats has Macbeth accomplished at the beginning of the play?
At the beginning of the play all Macbeth has done has won the battle at Forres. In the course of the battle, according to the sergeant, he bisected the traitor Macdonwald from the nave to the chops (from the navel to the chin), and led a furious countercharge on the Norwegians' counterattack at a point where the Scottish soldiers might be thought to be exhausted.

Why would Macbeth be depicted with a sword?
He was a soldier. In the battle which starts the play he split one guy in two "from the nave (navel) to the chops (chin)". With a sword.

Who gave Macbeth the idea to begin killing?
Actually he starts killing before the play starts. He is a soldier and used to chopping people in half "from the nave to the chops".

In Macbeth the bloodied sergeants tell the king that he killed the traitor Mcdonald he unsemed him from where to where?
The bloody sergeant tells the king that Macbeth killed the traitor Macdonwald by unseaming him from the navel to the jawbone. This vivid description highlights Macbeth's skill and brutality in battle, setting the tone for his character in the play.

Who was almost taken captive during the battle in Macbeth?
Macdonweald. He split him from the nave to the chops. Macbeth did not capture the Thane of Cawdor because when Ross greets him with the title, Macbeth says "The Thane of Cawdor lives, a prosperous gentleman. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?" Had Macbeth captured him, he would not have thought that he was a "prosperous gentleman" and Ross would not have to explain to him that the former Thane was a traitor.
Who is the disloyal thane killed by Macbeth?
Macdonweald. Macbeth split him from the nave to the chaps. Don't say the Thane of Cawdor; the text does not say he was captured by Macbeth and it wouldn't make any sense to say he did.
Which is the best example of a tragic impulse from Shakespeare and The Tragedy of Macbeth?
It really depends on whether you believe that people have "tragic flaws" (Shakespeare didn't), and if you do, what Macbeth's tragic flaw was. If you think his tragic flaw was giving in too easily to his wife, then his wife talking him into the murder in Act 1 Scene 7 is probably it. If you think his flaw is that he's too ruddy violent, possibly this became apparent when he split the fellow from the nave to the chops.
