As we bring this boring part of our senior year to a dramatic and most needed close we say in the noble words of Scar, "Long-Live Macbeth !"It is finally time to throw Macbeth down a rocky gorge and watch him fall to a sweet satisfying death. During my studies of Macbeth I realized that Lion King has a common place which they both share. In the tragedy of Macbeth, Macbeth sends two murders to kill the heirs of the throne to Scotland so that no one can approach his majesty. In comparison, The Lion King, prizes the same scene. In the Disney Classic, The Lion King, Scar kills Mufusa, the rightful king in a rocky gorge during a stampede. Not satisfied Scar sent his henchmen, “the hyena’s”, to murder the true heir to the throne which is Prince Simba. In result, Macbeth and Lion King, feed off each other, some people say that Lion King is the Disney version of Hamlet. However, I see some Macbeth in Lion King by the means of these familiar scene and others.
