The death of Mufasa in Disney’s The Lion King compared to the death of King Hamlet changes a few of the overall themes of the William Shakespeare play Hamlet. There are four major themes that are changed. Simba was present to watch his father die while Hamlet was away for school and didn’t know how he died until later. Simba was later lied to by his uncle and spent his life believing he had killed his father. Hamlet knew the truth about his father’s death for almost the entire play. Finally‚ in the

context. Even his uncle‚ oblivious of Hamlet’s knowledge‚ is quick to catalog Hamlet as “dangerous‚” I’d even say crazy. And then‚ in Act Three Scene Four‚ as Hamlet speaks to the Ghost‚ his mother‚ whom sees nothing‚ is made believe that her son is mad. Hamlet on the other hand feels differently. He asks his father’s ghost‚ “Do you not come your tardy son to chide‚ / that‚ lapsed in time and passion‚ lets go by‚ / The important acting of your dread command?” Clearly Hamlet too feels the anguish of

of the Bard’s--what shall we call them?--technical infelicities. Here are a couple that bug me: I think there is a misplaced speech in Hamlet which has resulted in much unnecessary confusion. You’ll remember that in Act I Hamlet meets his father’s ghost‚ who tells his son that he was murdered by Claudius. Hamlet is full of resolve to do the right thing‚ but he makes no attempt to kill Claudius until Act III‚ Scene IV. (That attempt is frustrated when he mistakenly believes Claudius is praying.) Why

Hamlet’s Downfall Revenge is sweet. However‚ the complete opposite applies to Hamlet. According to the Mirriam-Webster Dictionary‚ the definition of revenge is to inflict hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong done to someone else. Revenge is a central theme in William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet‚ however‚ is especially evident in the main character‚ young prince Hamlet.

When Hamlet is approached by the king’s ghost‚ he doubts whether the ghost is his father or a devil‚ he says‚ “the spirit I have seen/may be a devil and the devil hath power” (2.2.627-629). He overthinks the existent of the ghost as he is uncertain that the ghost is actually his dead father or a devil playing with his mind. This influences his delay to kill the new king‚ Claudius.
