Claudius VS Scar
When comparing the characters in William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Disney's The Lion King, they are very similar. Hamlet is a play about a depressed prince of Denmark that causes a lot of problems.

This example shows that Scar planned every last detail up to distracting Simba with the chameleon and by telling him to practice his roar a few days beforehand. So he knew very well that simba would get distracted and start roaring at the chameleon which would then cause him to be right in the middle of the stampede and then Mufasa would come to save him and end up being
