The Lion

Villains are the pivotal piece to the puzzle. An example of an exceptional villain is Scar from the movie "The Lion King". He has an alarming appearance, a disgraceful attitude, and worst of all he's made some petrifying steps. All three reasons make Scar an ideal villain. First and foremost is Scar's appearance. When you look at Scar you see this body of evil. He is a muscular lion with a sleek carmel coat surrounded by his jet black mane. He has these virescent eyes that gloat with evil.…

Christ. He assigned the symbol of the lion to Mark because Mark wrote about the resurrection. Luke’s symbol became the ox because he wrote about Christ’s priesthood and paid special attention to sacrifice. Lastly, Jerome assigned John an eagle symbol because John’s gospel is about Christ’s divinity. Jerome also recorded more specific reasons for his assignments of each animal symbol.

The article Between Lions and Men by Michael Clarke focuses on the use of literary devices, particularly similes, involving animals in Homeric writing. This article was written as typical culture presents animalistic comparisons to be insignificant, making the beast-similes in the Iliad superficial rather than been seen as essential to many aspects of the plot. According to Clarke, this concept led to the common belief that Homer’s use of beast-similes is to relieve the repetitiveness and…

the 16th Century, Niccolo Machiavelli gave the analogy of “the fox and the lion” in The Prince (1532), diverging politicians into two categories, stating that to be a successful leader one must be equally both.

Julia Gillard’s succession over Kevin Rudd in 2010 saw her ability to be both fox and lion, distinguishing herself as effectively dealing with the Senate, managing…

Standing majestically with a gaze protruding from a body of “white limestone and alabaster…” (MET), the Human-headed winged lion measures up to 10 feet and 3 ½ inches in height. Also referred to as the Lamassu, the sculpture is adorned with a “horned crown” that represents a spiritual holiness. Despite the crown’s intention to convey a state of “divinity”, it is in my observation to point out how outwardly phallic the top of the Lamassu head appears. It may be a vague symbol of masculine power…

the story, they are forced to hide from the nonbelievers, much like many of the followers of Christ had to do after his crucifixion. Aslan’s followers were forced to hide beneath Aslan’s How, which is the Stone Table on which he was sacrificed in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This compares the Narnians to the Christ followers who were forced to hide in the Catacombs of Rome during the Roman Persecutions. Another idea depicted in this story is the Christian’s struggle to stick to their…

unprepared but wanted to gain victory, by overpowering the numbers of men; even with the large numbers of casualties on the first day, Haig allowed for the Battle to continue, even though he did not gain land and did not get any advantage. The phrase “lions led by donkeys” was not so much of a fair description of the Battle of the Somme; it was a bit too harsh. The soldiers may have felt bossed around, but seeing that they were inexperience civilians who volunteered, made it seem like Haig had a…
