It seems like it's always the little brother kills the older brother out of jealously and often for the desire to sit on the throne. It is apparent that the classic, Shakespearean tragedy hamlet, and the more youth oriented, disney production, lion king, bear an unmistakable resemblance to each other. Though the two would seem nowhere near even borderline similar, the stories match the certain criteria. Both Claudius and Scar would agree that both have plotted to take the crown as king, and the product would the eventual demise of their older, more successful brother. It would leave the son of the king distraught and wanting resolution. Could it really be coincidence?
