Which of the following plays may be considered as a parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth, and some parts of Hamlet and King Lear?

Correct option is D

Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi is a parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth, and some parts of Hamlet and King Lear. Ubu Roi is a grotesque and absurd play that tells the story of Ubu, a fat, lecherous, and tyrannical buffoon who murders the King of Poland and usurps the throne. Ubu is aided and abetted by his wife, Mère Ubu, who is just as wicked and ambitious as he is. The play is a satirical commentary on the nature of power, greed, and corruption. It also mocks the conventions of Shakespearean tragedy and melodrama.

Information booster:

Some of the specific ways in which Ubu Roi parodies Shakespeare's plays include:
 The character of Ubu is a parody of Macbeth. Both characters are ambitious and murderous, but Ubu is much more ridiculous and incompetent.
 The character of Mère Ubu is a parody of Lady Macbeth. Both characters are ambitious and manipulative, but Mère Ubu is much more vulgar and outspoken.
 The scene in which Ubu murders the King of Poland is a parody of the scene in Macbeth in which Macbeth murders King Duncan. However, in Ubu Roi, the murder is much more clumsy and farcical.
 The scene in which Ubu is tormented by the ghost of the King of Poland is a parody of the scene in Hamlet in which Hamlet is tormented by the ghost of his father. However, in Ubu Roi, the ghost is much less menacing and Ubu is more amused than frightened.
Ubu Roi is a complex and challenging play, but it is also a very funny and entertaining one. It is a classic of absurdist theatre and a must-read for anyone interested in parody or satire.
