Hamlet/Lion King

In the Lion King the forest that Simba is in with Timon and Pumba doesn't realy have an equal in Hamlet. He is there just trying not to give a care in the world as to what is happening back home.

Gertrude isn't as loving towards her son as Simba's Mom is. Also she doesn't play as an important role as Gertrude does.

Women inside Hamlet are more reserved and aren't allowed to really do much. Women inside Lion King are more independent and even do hunting.

They are friends of the prince. THe difference is that in the Lion King they don't work for the bad king Scar as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do inside Hamlet.

In Hamlet the ghost is a spiritual thing and in the Lion King the monkey is a physical being that acts with spiritual type power.

In Hamlet there is poison and stabbing, but considering that Lion King is a kid's story if there's any death its not as graphic and involves more trickery than outright physical murder.

In Hamlet he is the one is crazy and is going insane but in the Lion King there is no real insanity just the wacky monkey.

England and the graveyard were both similar. The main character was sent there. The person who sends them there intends for them to die there.

Both are like the main homes of the princes. They both are born there and return there in the end.

Both are the sons of the king and thereby princes. Both are having the right to the throne challenged.

Both are evil relatives to the king that want the throne.

Both are good riteous kings that get murdered by their brother's plots.

Both represent spiritual elements that are guiding the princes toward their fates.

In both the prince is away from his throne. In the Lion King Simba goes to living with Timon and Pumba in the forest and in Hamlet he is sent to England.

In both stories someone is trying to get the throne away form a prince(although the means to do so differ)and they both end up wanting the prince dead. Also in both the prince returns to challenge them.

In both the princes struggle with internal conflict. In the Lion King Simba struggles with becoming the king he's supposed to be and in Hamlet he struggles with why he is being such a coward in acting upon revenge on Claudius.
