Research Paper On The Lion King

The movie, The Lion King, is a representation of people and events from World War I and World War II. Mufasa, Scar, and Simba represent people and events.

Mufasa represents Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Mufasa was killed by Scar. Same as Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip of the Black Hand. Simba always kept Mufasa in his mind throughout the whole movie. He wanted the avenge his fathers death. It caused a war between Scar and Simba. The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand caused World War I. Austria was angry about the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and so was Simba about his fathers death. Also Mufasa was a king; Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. Mufasa was a very important king.
Scar did not serve as a good king. He tried to get the hyenas to kill Simba many times. Also he succeeded in killing Mufasa so he would become king. Hitler was not a good leader too. He hated Jews so then he killed them. He used propagandas to get his way. Scar told lies to Simba to get his way also. After Scar became king he did not do Pride Rock or the lions any good. He starved the lions with no food and Pride Rock was not a good place for the lions to live anymore. Scar turned to Pride Rock to almost a full hyena territory. Both Scar and Hitler werent afraid to kill anyone. They did almost anything the wanted to. Hitler set of concentration camps to kill all Jews and take over the world. He didnt care what anybody thought of him. Scar just had the hyenas backing him up all the way until later they turned on him. Hitler had some of the people turn on him also at near the end of Hitlers
Mufasa represents Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Scar represents Hitler. Simba represents The United States as they join the Allies. The Lion King has many more representations of World War I and II. For example, the hyenas represent The Nazis. They supported Scar and followed his commands. Most people and events in The Lion King represents to main parts of World War I and II. For instance, Pearl Harbor, Hitler, The Great Depression, and etc were represented in The Lion King. In addition, Mufasa, Scar, and Simba mainly represented some of the people and events. All together they gave a good representation of Scar as Hitler. I think The Lion King can be shown to people to understand World War I and II more clearly. It definitely can be used to give representations of World War I and II events extremely
