A movie or tv show may show a character or multiple characters go through very difficult times but it the end show how they overcame adversity and is now known as a hero. In the Lion King, Simba can be seen as a hero with the challenges he endures and what he overcomes by the end. Simba has many heroic qualities his wisdom, compassion for others, moral reasoning and responsibility makes him stand out above all other characters. Simba as a young lion, was very selfish and naive to many things happening at Pride Rock . His choice to run away at a young age showed he didn't want to face his problems or accept what he thought he did. Simba begins to gain heroic qualities as he is now living his own life in a faraway jungle, he is learning how to be independent, and how to live his own life instead of being in the shadow of his dad, the king of Pride Rock.

The movie, Secondhand Lions, is the story of a young boy (Walter) who is dropped off at the home of his two elderly uncles (Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth) by his single mother. There are rumors surrounding Uncle Hub and Uncle Garth’s past lives and speculation that they have millions of dollars hidden on their land. Relatives and strangers hope to find or inherit some of the cash. Both uncles are reluctant to have Walter at their home and view him as a nuisance. Uncle Garth beings to tell Walter tails of him and Hub’s adventures as young men serving in the French Foreign Lesion during World War I. Uncle Hub is a wild character, who seems to be desperately trying to hold onto his youth and prove that he is still as strong and capable as ever.

The Lion King is a true hero's journey that takes place in the savannas of Africa. The title "the Lion King" emphasizes that a lion is king, most likely referring to the main character, Simba. Simba is the main hero in the story because he regains his kingdom and defeats evil. The main character's archetype is "king"; he takes responsibility for his actions and his kingdom, he regains order and control. Simba takes part in a hero's journey by being a part of the departure, initiation, and the return.

Scar can easily be identified as the villain in The Lion King because he is evil. Scar betrays his brother, Mufasa and his nephew, Simba because Mufasa is king of the Pride Lands and Simba took Scar’s place of being next in line for the throne. Scar attempts to have Simba and Mufasa murdered through a series of lies and deceit to claim “what he rightfully deserves” First, he tells Simba about the Elephant Graveyard, despite Mufasa telling Simba not to go there. Scar then sends his three main hyena henchmen, Banzai, Shenzi, and Ed, to the graveyard to kill him, knowing that curious Simba will disobey his father. In the next attempt of murder, Scar isolates Simba and instructs the hyenas to trigger a stampede. While saving Simba, Mufasa finds himself dangling at the edge of a cliff. Scar, who enjoys watching others suffer, ignores Mufasa’s plea for help and sends him over the edge. Another aspect that makes Scar evil is his tendency to take advantage of

A hero traditionally envisions themselves as a hero when they are put through countless challenges and trials. A hero’s journey follows a certain pattern known as The Hero’s Quest Cycle. This Journey forms the basic template for all great stories. The journey's path is described variously, but in general it includes the call to adventure, a supernatural aide or mentor, initiation by trials and adventures, victory, and return. Woolverton, Mecchi and Robert’s story, ‘The Lion King’, Simba (Protagonist) rotates around The Hero’s Journey. Three stages that are in this movie are Meeting the Mentor, Tests Allies and Enemies, Approach to the Innermost Cave. These stages are prime examples of how Simba goes through The Hero’s Journey which defines

Every king has their most brilliant moment, but finally, because some bad qualities cause them fall down. The famous Shakespeare Tragedy Macbeth and the well-known Disney cartoon Lion King have some similarities about the two main characters Macbeth and Scar, and I will demonstrate how they become the king and then fall down. Both Macbeth and Scar; their ambitions make them try to use anyways to get their goal, and lead the countries to become better which are the rise of kings. The fall of both kings is very miserable. Macbeth and Scar in order to maintain their position, utilize many evil means to defend themselves and finally fall down. Both playwright Macbeth and the film Lion King show the rise and fall of the two evil characters Macbeth and Scar. The reasons of their defeats can be found in their overconfidence, inability to make others trust them and excessive use of lies.

There is a clear distinction between good and bad in The Lion King, this makes the audience highly suspect scar’s future betrayal of Mufasa and Simba. While in

The 2016 film Lion, which was first a book called “A Long Way Home”, is a film where a boy named Saroo was separated from his brother in the train station, which leads to Saroo getting on a train taking him thousands of miles away from his family and his home. Saroo, who was only five-years-old when he got lost, had to learn to survive alone in Kolkata, West Bengal. Days after arriving to Kolkata, the city the train left him at, he got admitted into an orphanage, which later turned out to him getting adopted by an Australian couple. But twenty-five years later, he starts to wonder where his first home and family are at the moment. With only his memories, determination, and Google Earth he starts looking and searching where his small

Every king is under a period of prosperity and recession. King’s reign will never always stay in a successful period, also, will not always fall down at the bottom. The famous Shakespeare Macbeth and Disney well-known cartoon Lion King could embody this statement very well. Two masterpieces share similarities in their two main characters, Macbeth and Scar. Because of their ambitions, Macbeth and Scar try to use any means to achieve their goals. Both playwright Macbeth and the film Lion King show the rise and fall of the two evil characters Macbeth and Scar. The reasons of their defeats can be found in their overconfidence, inability to make others trust them and excessive use of lies.

Although The Lion King and Macbeth seems like two different stories. One is set in the medieval era while the other is set in postmodernity, but both displays the similarities of the character’s strategic battle for power. Scar, known as the villain in the movie, The Lion King, committed selfish acts to fulfill his distorted desires. As Simba was at the edge of the cliff, about to be murdered by Scar, Scar snarled at him, “That [is] the way your father looked before I killed him” (The Lion King). Simba leaped up from the side of the cliff, and pushed Scar to the ground demanding him to confess to his crime of killing the king, his father, Mufasa. This quote proves that Scar’s ambition leads him to do ruthless acts, wanting to kill Simba, who was next in line of the throne. These malevolent plots are what fuels the battle of evil against the good. Scar stated to his three murders, the Hyenas, “We [are] going to kill him. And Simba, too” (The Lion King). In the movie, The Lion King, shows that Scar is resentful of the king, Mufasa, and the power he retains. In this quote, he plans a plot on who he wants to kill with the three hyenas to help him finish the deed, which shows his strong ambitions. Another

There is a huge difference between signs and symbols and many of these were seen in the movie Secondhand Lions. A sign is a physical thing, gibes a brief message, stands for something, and usually instructs someone about something. Examples of signs are warning signs, street signs, informations signs, open/closed signs of shops and restaurants, and many more. A symbol, on the other hand, is something that is visible but represents something invisible that is hard to put into words. It requires your interpretation and they affect how we feel. Examples of symbols are actions like hugs or hand shakes when someone passes away, objects like wedding rings to represent a couples love, a dove to express peace, and a cross to represent Christianity.

Born as the heir of King Ahadi and Queen Uru, Mufasa was a courageous lion who ruled over The Pride Land. After the birth of his son; Mufasa, began teaching Simba about the circle of life, training him to take his place as king. As a result, his jealous younger brother; Scar, hatches a scheme to over throw him and rule his kingdom. Once it's discovered that Scar missed Simbas's presentation ceremony; Mufasa, enters the lion's den in order to chastise his brother for his insolence. As the king continues to scold his brother, Scar turns his back and walks away, stating he might attack Mufasa if he turned his back on him. A few months later, Mufasa travels to the Pride Lands to show Simba around his kingdom. As the pair continue their journey,

Disney’s The Lion King reflects the Shakespearean play Hamlet. In Hamlet, King Hamlet is murdered by his evil brother, Claudius. In The Lion King, King Mufasa is murdered by his evil brother, Scar. Both Claudius and Scar killed their brothers, so they can seize the throne. Scar and Claudius also send the princes (Simba and Hamlet) away because they would then succeed their brothers. Simba runs away and ends up with Timone and Pumbaa, and Claudius convinces Hamlet to travel to England. Scar and Claudius then tell everyone that their nephews had died, and they are the new king. Simba and Hamlet eventually go back to reclaim their territory, and they kill their uncles.

Scar’s narcissistic sensitivity to criticism during his reign as King confirms his sociopathy. Firstly, he displays utmost sensitivity towards the slightest mention of the former King’s name. Scar is enraged when Zazu mentions the less demanding circumstances when Mufasa was in power, he shouts, “You know the law:

In conclusion,Scar is more suitable to be the king.I like Scar because of his strong personality.He can do everything possible to reach his ambition including kills his brother. Scar's ambition is firm and strong.He has ambition at first and he never changes this.Macbeth has ambition after the prophecies are fulfilled and Lady Macbeth's encouragements. Although the results of the two kings are bad, I still prefer Scar because his great ambition.From my point of view,
