King Duncan appears in which play?

King Duncan appears in which play?

• A. Julius Caesar
• B. Othello
• C. Hamlet
• D. Macbeth

Answer: (D)

King Duncan is a central figure in Macbeth, where he rules Scotland at the start and is murdered by Macbeth, a event that drives the whole tragedy. The play uses Duncan’s kingship to establish the moral order that Macbeth defies, making his rise and fall inseparable from Duncan’s fate. The other plays mentioned focus on different stories: Julius Caesar centers on Caesar in Rome, Othello follows Othello and his manipulation, and Hamlet centers on Prince Hamlet and King Claudius. Since King Duncan does not appear in those works, Macbeth is the correct choice.
