Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the character of a Scottish general Macbeth and his desire to be king. Through the prophecy of witches and his manipulative wife, Macbeth began a life of one goal- to be king no matter what, which also led to his downfall.
The emotional state of Macbeth began to change as the scenes go along. The quotes given in the question are arranged in the correct order according to his character's evolution from Act I through III.
"If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me,/ Without my stir."- <em>Act I scene iii</em>.
In this scene, he thought nothing much of being king. He admits he’ll just let fate do its work if he’s meant to be king.
"Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more! / Macbeth does murder sleep"- <em>Act II scene ii</em>.
After he had just “done the deed” which is murdering Duncan, Macbeth began ‘hearing’ things.
"O, full of scorpions is my mind, dear wife! / Thou know'st that Banquo, and his Fleance, lives."- <em>Act III scene ii</em>.
In this scene, he is not happy with just the throne. He wanted to remove all obstacles, meaning Banquo and his son as the witches had prophesied that the son of Banquo will end Macbeth’s rule.
"Avaunt! and quit my sight! let the earth hide thee! / Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold;"- <em>Act III scene iv</em>.
In this scene, Macbeth is seen ordering the ghost of Banquo to be gone. This scene led him to wonder why the dead man can appear in front of him and also reminds him of the guilt.
