Plato's Myth of The Cave; The Lion King

Mufasa, father of Simba, warned his son to not go beyond the Pride Land as it is far too dangerous. But, Simba's uncle, Scar eager him to go to the Elephant Graveyard. Later that day, Simba persuade Nala to come with him to the Elephant Graveyard. When they reached the graveyard, both of the cub were attacked by a pack of hyena Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, was friends of Scar before they were rescued by Mufasa. 

In a Plot to get the throne and to kill Mufasa, Scar order the hyenas to stampede a large pack of wildebeest to a place where Simba is located. Mufasa came at the right time to save his son. But unlucky for him, he could not save himself for Scar have betrayed him for letting go of his paws when Mufasa was hanging in the Canyon's wall. 

After the incident, Simba run away from home. He was exhausted and collapse but lucky for him, Timon and Pumba and take him to an oasis. By the motto of "Hakuna Matata" it means no worries, Timon and Pumba take care of him till he become a great big lion. After awhile, by accident Nala found him. She try to get Simba to come back to the Pride Land and take down Scar but he refused. Not after he met and old baboon, Rafiki who help Simba to the right path. 


He returned to the Prime Rock and confront Scar. Scar was backed up by a pack of hyena but they are outnumbered by the lioness. At some point, Simba and Scar are battling and Scar stunned him because he said that he killed Mufasa. Furiously Simba get back up and attacked Scar with no mercy. When Simba won the duel, Simba ordered Scar to never step his paws on the Pride land, Scar said that was the hyenas plan to get rid of Mufasa. Simba throw him at the pack of hyena as they heard what Scar said about them. Scar was killed by the hyenas
