William Shakespeare's Macbeth revolves around the life of Macbeth and his rise to power courtesy of the three witches' prophecy of his supremacy in the kingdom. And in this zeal to achieve his intended power of being king, he did numerable murderous deeds just to get to the top, which also led to his downfall.

As seen in the speech of Macbeth in Act IV scene i, he seems greatly disturbed at the prophecy of the three witches and demanded they tell him more. But then when he got the warning that Macduff is getting away, he decided to immediately pursue the man and kill him. He decided that instead of being indecisive, he will act instantly on any occasion so as to achieve his aim and mot give it a second thought. And this is perfectly supported in the line "and even now,/ to crown my thoughts with acts,/ be it thought and done".

The option that best describes how the poet helps the reader understand the theme is:

3. The poet uses an extended metaphor of a tree that grows and bears fruit to convey the theme.

This question refers to the poem "The Poison Tree" by William Blake.
The poem's theme concerns the dangers of not expressing one's feelings. More specifically, the dangers of not expressing anger.
The poet uses an extended metaphor to convey the idea above.
In the poem, the anger that is not expressed is compared to a tree. The more the speaker keeps his feelings to himself, the more that tree grows.
Eventually, that tree bears fruit. In other words, the bottled up anger eventually leads to a bad consequence.
In the poem, the fruit is a poisonous apple that ends up killing the speaker's enemy.
With the information above in mind, we can choose number 3 as the best choice. The poet uses extended metaphor to convey the theme.
