The hyenas betrayed Scar when Scar ordered them to kill Simba before he runs away. Rosencrantz and Guildenberg also betrayed Claudius when Claudius hired them to kill Hamlet and they didn’t, even though they weren’t good friends with Hamlet. The plot events have many similarities. Both of the kings were murdered by their jealous brothers. They also came
In both the play and the movie the fathers of both princes approach their sons in the same way, each prince encountered a ghost who told them what really happen to their fathers. In the Lion king the ghost did not tell Simba who the killer was where as in Hamlet they did. Scar like in hamlet also takes advantage of his new power and leads his people to war. After this we see when the differences between the two works happen. In the Lion King Scar never once feels bad for killing Mufasa and even confesses to Simba proudly that he was the one who killed his father.
In Lion King Simba is chosen to be the next king over his uncle Scar, when Mufasa (the current king) is killed Simba is next in line to take over. Scar, wanting to become the next king, and tells Simba that it is his fault that Mufasa died when it was really Scar's fault. This causes Simba to leave Pride Rock based on Scar's advice. Scar sends his hyena army to kill Simba to permanently get rid of him, but Simba escapes and is driven far away from pride rock. He decides later that he needs to return and fight Scar for all his past wrong doings and take over as king.
But he comes back as Sweeney Todd wanting to seek vengeance on the man who sent him away from his family. In Hamlet, Hamlet struggles with his fathers death. He is the only one able to talk to the ghost of his father. Everyone around notices his absent mind, and believes he is crazy, even his own mother, “Alas, he is mad.” (III.iv.106). But later on, we discover Hamlet is not mad, and that it was all just an act.
"The Lion King" The moral of the movie "The Lion King" is "Your past is always your past. Even if you forget it, it remembers you"(Quotes). The movie tells about a young lion prince, named Simba, who has a tragic accident as a cub and turns his back on his past and where he came from. The story begins with simba just being born and his kingdom bowing with respect for him and his parents, Mufasa and Sarabi. Simba being born made his uncle, Scar, second in line to recieve the throne and this angered his uncle very much.
I tell you he is the king of the wood and son of the great Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. Don’t you know who is the King of Beasts? Aslan is a lion-the lion, the great Lion.” Some may wonder why Lewis chose a lion to be a representation of Christ. However, when one explores Lewis’s three reasons then his choice is justified. Firstly, the lion is the ‘King of Beasts’; a symbol of authority, majesty, power, and pride.
The struggle to act upon his father’s murder is a key factor in Hamlet’s disillusionment with the world. The Elizabethan period was a time that demanded revenge and this is even true in our present time to some extent. An eye for an eye approach was considered socially correct which Hamlet initially suggests ‘May sweep to my revenge’. Since Claudius has become the new king, he is considered a false king and imposter to the throne by Hamlet and this leads to the collapse of the natural hierachy that was in place. He states ‘tis an unweeded garden’ alluding to the fact that a false king leads to corruption which finally leads to the collapse of the hierarchy.
After King Hamlet's death, Laertes, along with Prince Hamlet return to Denmark for the funeral services. This is the first sign that Laertes will become a foil to Hamlet in the play. Hamlet is devastated but he only mopes around whereas when Laertes father Polonius is murdered he vows for revenge “to the blackest Devil!”(4.5.215) He thinks through his emotions, not with his brain like Hamlet. When Hamlet is trying to solve if Claudius killed his father he uses Gertrude asking, “I know not: is it the King?”(3.4.123) Spying through someone else is typical Hamlet not only keeping his feeling hush but also avoiding a confrontation with the king before he knows for sure if he killed his father. When Ophelia dies Laertes is Distraught and isn’t afraid to show this whereas Hamlet loved her but his lack emotion left him without a connection to her at the end of the play.
This could cause conflict between the creator and the created as Victor is repeatedly insulting the monster. In addition, Victor rejects the Monster immediately after its creation; he calls it a 'wretch' and leaves it to fend for itself. This shows how irresponsible Victor is as he abandons his responsibilities. It is also another example of him neglecting his family, since the Monster sees him as its father. This creates conflict between the monster and Victor as the monster soon begins to hate him for abandoning him.
Ralph represents the goodness left on the island, while Jacks worst got the best of him. He then becomes very violent “He's like Piggy. He says things like Piggy.
