Read this excerpt from the prologue of Shakespeare’s play Henry V, in which King Henry is referred to as Harry.

A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself,
Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire
Crouch for employment.

This excerpt mostly introduces?

A. the character of King Henry, or Harry.
B. the setting of the port of Mars.
C. the conflict of a war between England and France.
D. the setting of the fields of war.

If you read the excerpt properly, you will see that it is describing the king himself. The narrator is telling us what Harry is like - that he is warlike, scary, and powerful. We are introduced with his character (who is the protagonist of the play and who we are going to see for the rest of the play) and we still don't know anything else about the context, setting, or other characters.
