And at the end, he shows his brave side. The side that shows that he can be king, he slowly turns into his father. Mufasa: Father of Simba and the former king of Pride Rock.

The opening song might give us a clue to prove that, since the song is in Swahili a language spoken in several countries in east Africa.There is the savannah with the diverse wildlife, and the majestic Pride Rock in the middle of it all, where the colours are “happy”, and the sun shines. This we can call the bright and good side of the world. In contrast to Pride Rock we have the elephant graveyard. It's dark, gloomy, and sad. It will definetely give you the chills. They live in an animal kingdom where the animals speak and act as humans, and lions are the

    Broadway’s The Lion King is a stage adaption of the 1994 Disney film. It tells the story of a young lion, Simba, living in the African Pride Lands. When his father, Mufasa, dies because of his wicked uncle, Scar, Simba flees the Pride Lands. Eventually, he meets two unlikely friends, Timon and Pumbaa. But when the ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult lion, Simba must take on his enemy and fulfill his destiny to be king. I’ve seen the show once before a few years ago, last time they came to Charlotte. After seeing the movie, the show before, and being very familiar with the music from the highly talked about broadway show, I had very high expectations for The Lion King. The show took place at the Belk Theater in Charlotte, NC on August 23rd. The stage was medium-sized with a full orchestra. The show opens up with the classic tune “Circle of Life” featuring the entire ensemble and Rafiki. This particular number really captured my attention. The music was very intense, powerful, and you felt the emotions through the strong voices. In addition, they had gigantic elephants walking w...

  • Hamlet and The Lion King

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    The characters in The Lion King closely parallel Hamlet.  Simba, the main character in The Lion King, embodies Hamlet, He is the son of the King and rightful heir to the throne.  The King of the Pridelands, Mufasa, parallels Hamlet Senior, who is killed by the uncle figure.  In The Lion King, the uncle is Scar, and in Hamlet, the uncle figure is Claudius.  Laertes, the henchman and right-hand man of Claudius, becomes, in the movie, the Hyenas, Bansai, Shenzi, and Ed.  The Hyenas collectively act as hero-worshippers to Scar, loyal subjects, and fellow doers-in-evil.  They support Scar completely, just as Laertes supports Claudius.  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the comic reliefs of Hamlet, and in The Lion King, this role is fulfilled by Timon and Pumbaa, who are a meercat and warthog, respectively.  Both sets compliment each other, complete each other's sentences, act as caretakers to Hamlet/Simba, and are comical to the point of being farcical.  The role of Horatio, Hamlet's right-hand man, is fulfilled in The Lion King by Nala.  Nala concentrates on the aspect that Simba is the rightful King and that it is his responsibility to ascend to the throne.  She is his best friend and someone whom he trusts.  Just as Horatio loyally follows Hamlet, Nala is completely loyal to Simba.  Not only are there ties of friendship, but there is also an element of respect and reverence in both friendships.  Horatio and Nala both know that they are friends and loyal followers of the rightful king.

  • Character Analysis Of Scar In The Lion King

    543 Words  | 2 Pages

    He feels as if he should be king. Yet, he has different values than the other characters. His views are more towards taking power and being served as king, rather than the good deeds that Mufasa values. This just shows how different these two characters truly are. For example, when Scar explains to the hyenas what he would do as king. This shows readers that he is in it for a whole different reason, rather than King Mufasa who is about doing good and keeping the kingdom safe. When Scar takes over the kingdom, it becomes a dark place with little resources left. This represents all the pain and suffering he has caused to the kingdom. Rather than when Mufasa was king and it was always bright and sunny, which represents the happier

  • Importance Of Courage

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book showed many different forms of courage, in my opinion the most popular one being social/moral courage. Facing the Lion was mostly about a boy named Joseph who grew up in Kenya, in his village there was a rule saying that at least one child per family had to go to school. After Joseph’s older brother ran away from school Joseph lied about his age so he could take his place and Joseph ended up loving school and did very well. I choose this quote because I think that it is a very good example of social/moral courage. One of the reasons that Joseph standing up to Addison was so courageous was because leading up to the moment of the fight Addison had been picking on Joseph for months and Joseph had become afraid of him so it took a lot of courage for him to make the first move and pin Addison. I think that the reason that Joseph finally stood up to Addison was because he was so fed up with Addison making fun of him and nobody doing anything about it that he finally just snapped. I also think that if the circumstances had been any different and it was the first time Addison had challenged him to a fight and made fun of him then Joseph wouldn’t have done anything. Some other courageous moments in Facing the Lion was when he decided he was going to go to college in the US, when he faced the lion, and when he was the first person in his tribe to stay in school and go to
