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

The correct option is August Strindberg’s The Dance of Death.

Detailed Explanation:

August Strindberg's play The Dance of Death (composed in 1900) is a famous drama that portrays the marital warfare between Edgar, an artillery captain, and Alice, a former actress. Living in an isolated island fortress, their toxic relationship and mutual psychological torment reflect a grim, grotesque parody of several classic Shakespearean tragedies.

Specifically, the play contains strong thematic and structural echoes that serve as a parody or subversive inversion of:
• Macbeth: The intense, claustrophobic conflict between Edgar and Alice mirrors the dark, power-hungry, and mutually destructive dynamic of Lord and Lady Macbeth.
• Hamlet: The play touches upon themes of madness, isolation, and existential despair, mimicking Hamlet's psychological disintegration but in a modern, domestic, and absurd setting.
• King Lear: Edgar's descent, his struggle against physical decay, and his relationship with the surrounding hostile environment mirror King Lear’s isolation and madness on the stormy heath.

Thus, Strindberg's masterpiece functions as a modern, symbolist parody of these major Shakespearean works, rendering the tragic elements into a grotesque, modern domestic struggle.
