While based on Hamlet the film also borrows elements from the bible. Scar killing Mufasa is directly taken from Cain and Abel as like Scar Cain killed his brother Abel. One of the 10 plagues from the bible in this case fire and thunderstorms takes place during and after the climax. Just how God banished Adam and Eve from Eden Scar exiles Simba for 'causing' Mufasa's death and Simba seeing the ghost of his father is similar to Jacob's ladder where Jacob dreamed he visited God in heaven and both Mufasa and God offer words of wisdom.
