Simba is a very young, naive and doesn't quite understand the responsibilities he would have to have to become king. He thinks that being king would just mean freedom.
However, he doesn't feel he deserves to be king, thinking that he killed his father. This guilt plays on him all the time, and he truly believes that he doesn't deserve to be king. Despite this, Simba is a very noble sort of person, and would be willing to give his life for anyone. He is willing to fight for the beliefs that his father instilled in him. While quick to rise, he also tries to watch himself and calm down. He tends to watch himself often, trying to turn into the kind of lion, er, person his father wanted him to be.
Along with all of this weight on his shoulders,
Simba’s heroic qualities don’t just stand out when he is found by Nala begging him to return to Pride Rock to save everyone and the community, but also when he meets Pumbaa and Timon. He is learning how to survive on his own and how to be a true friend. Simba shows all characteristics of a hero throughout his journey, it begins with his separation from his family, and his choice to runaway. Simba has to deal with guilt and is tested emotionally, he has been told that he killed his father and needs
In The Lion King, Simba runs away after his uncle tries to have him killed. After that he just doesn’t want to go on, his dad had just died, and he believed it was his fault. Simba just wants to give up on life, so when Timone asks, “Hey where ya going?” Simba replies, “Nowhere.” (42). Simba just wanted
Rafiki teaches him that, "you can either run from the past, or learn from it." This statement is important because Simba needed to put the death of his father behind him instead of running from it. Simba realizes he needs to return to his rightful place as king. The struggles he knows he must face are regaining his kingdom and defeating Scar.
At the beginning of the film the camera angle looks up towards him, the lights shine on young Simba; the importance of his birth is immense, although Simba may be oblivious to the fact at the time. Another parallel is the fact that both Simba and Hamlet at one stage wish to be dead. When Timon and Pumbaa find him, they believe Simba to be dead when they first find him. He is not – but wishes to be. The same could be said about Hamlet when he questions his life – “To be, or not to be”. Like Hamlet, Simba tends to need to be on his own to reflect. Hamlet and Simba are near perfect examples of tragic heroes. Both are tested to the extent of their inner strength and faith in the triumph of good.
As Simba grows into “adolescence”, Mufasa teaches valuable lessons on how to rule with compassion and courage. Mufasa’s majordomo, Zazu, also instructs Simba on how to properly conduct himself. Knowing that one day he will be king of the Pride Lands, Simba tries to grow up too fast and carry himself as a young king. Sensing the arrogance of the young prince, Scar is quick to plot the removal of Simba from the line of succession.
My Character in the Lion king is Sarabi, she is known as Simba’s mother, king Mufasa’s mate and the queen of the pridelands. She first appears in the song called “The Circle of life” with Mufasa to welcome the newborn Simba into the pridelands. (In this part Sarabi seems happy and excited for her son and that one day he will become the and new rightful king of pride rock) As the young simba grows up Mufasa explains the circle of life to him and also that he will become king one day. Simba tells Mufasa’s Jealous brother Scar about him being king one day (Scar became nasty because before Simba was born he was next in line for the throne, but Simba is next in line for the throne) So Scar encourages Simba to
4. (1) The director does a purposeful close up shot on Simba 's face to show his emotion change from anger and confusion to peace and understanding. Simba is angry because he and his pride are being attacked by the exiled pride of lions. His emotion then changes to confusion as Kiara jumps in front of him to stop the fight. Kiara tells Simba "a wise King once told me, we are one." She continues to explain to him that the exiled lions and the pride land lions are the same. We see the and feel the emotion of peace and pride in Simba 's eyes in the close up shot.
In the movie The Lion King, Rafiki, a money, said to Simba “you can either run from it, or... learn from it.” The Lion King is about a little lion cub named Simba, who was told that he left his father die and his uncle told him to run away. Then he found himself and decided to go back to Pride Rock and then he figured out the truth that his uncle let his father die. In the movie The Lion King, the many life-changing circumstances demonstrates the normality of reshaping a social class, person, or place.
The two texts ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Hamlet’ explore the meaning of heroes and villains. Simba and Hamlet have the same characteristics they both wanted to take back what was rightly there’s. It took a couple of years for Simba to realize that he does deserve to be king and to fight for his throne. Hamlets mindset was the same, when his father’s ghost appeared, hamlet said “To be or not to be” he was second guessing his life and wanted to die, but after taking a long think he jumped up and wanted to get revenge for his father.
A good qualite of a movie is when it teaches kids some sort of lesson. The Lion King 2 Simba’s Pride” is my favorite movie. What makes it good is the lesson it teaches. The lesson is don't judge a book by its cover. Kiara is in love with Kovu, but they can't be together because he is an Outlander. Kiara tells her father, Simba in a battle with the Outlanders that we are one. That is something that he told her when she was a dub. That means don't judge the outsiders and treat them equally, and not to judge them by their fur color.
A story of rejection, betrayal, fleeing from responsibility, and a period of growth. A colorful story with personal struggles, full of bibilical parrellels that relate directly back to Christianity. The Lion King opens with a magnificient celebration in honor of the newborn prince Simba. The animals of Pride Rock gather in honor and the baboon Rafiki cracks open an egg and anoints Simba.While Simba's evil uncle Scar wished him death, the animals worship the prince. Soon this cub grows into a bull's-eye of Scar. Scar's first attack to get rid of Simba occurs when he sends the young cub into forbidden lands. A land Simba's father Mufasa told him never to go. Mufasa saves his son from doom and death and teaches him a lesson about disobiedence. Just like in Christainity, God teaches his people. However, the next attack succeeds, killing Mufasa .Just like God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, Mufasa sacrificed his life to save his son. Devious Scar makes his nephew believe that the death of his father is his fault and tells him to flee and never return.
Simba’s first family relationship was the relationship he built was with his mother, Sarabi. She gave him all the nurturing he needed as a cub. His father Mufasa taught him lessons about the “Circle Of Life.” One example, Mufasa tries a functional approach with Simba. This approach considers the functions and responsibilities of leaders. Hoping that Simba could learn and develop these skills over time. Mufasa taught him all the attributes his followers would expect from him in order to become an effective leader, such as confidence, courage, passion, concentration, and values, these are all traits Simba would need to be a great leader. In the end, Simba returns to the Pride Lands, facing up to his responsibilities by being honest with his followers over the past, if he didn’t tell the pride the truth he could not rebuild trust amongst the
He feels that God will not listen to him or rescue him out of his plight. Another literary device that William Shakespeare uses is personification. Shakespeare personifies heaven as God saying how God is ignoring him. In “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” the connotation is the fact that Simba cannot revel the “truth about his past.” The denotation of those words is the fact that Simba blames himself for his father’s death and does not know how to tell this to
One of the first things Mufasa taught Simba as a cub was respect. As kids we’re all taught to treat others the way you want to be treated, and such emphasis is made by Mufasa to Simba. Mufasa takes Simba on a walk around the kingdom and his father mentions the importance of respect and how as a king you need to respect everyone. “Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.” (Mufasa) This goes to show that
The beginning of the movie is about Simba growing up with his parents, Sarabi and Mufasa, experiencing life as heir to the throne. Scar was heir to the throne at Pride Rock before his nephew Simba was born, which caused him to have unresolved anger and hatred. This unresolved angry drives Scar to enact a series of mind tricks to manipulate Simba. First in the film, he tricks Simba into going to a very dangerous elephant graveyard where hyenas live. His next ploy in eliminating his one competition for the throne after Mufasa, was staging him in a place where antelope roam. Simba falls prey his to uncles trap the first time and enters the elephant graveyard, but his dad was able to come at the perfect time to rescue Simba and his betrothed mate Nala. After Scars first failed attempt at disposing of
