In the Lion King, Scar kills his brother Mufasa by throwing him into a wild stampede. He then tells everyone that the king was killed but the stampede which is only half the truth. This false statement of the truth is found in the play Hamlet when Claudius pours poison into Old Hamlet’s ear and kills him but then tells the people that it was a serpent that bit him and poisoned him.
