Abstract

Growing-characters change their identity according to their surroundings. Simba, Mufasa, and Scar in The Lion King would have had similar incidents as children. However, it acquired a different identity. It is said that the most difficult part of trauma is the death of a family member or acquaintance. In The Lion King, Simba witnessed the death of his father Mufasa. It came as a big shock at a young age. Simba, who overcame this and grew up, becomes the king of Prideland through transposition and ascension. To overcome trauma, identity transformation is necessary. To move on to the next generation, Mufasa and Scar face a descent. This properly shows “Circle of Life” (the providence of nature) from the beginning of the movie. Only characters who have grown up after overcoming trauma can be converted to an upward transition.
