Lion King's "money" = food, water, shelter (pride rock), land (kingdom of prey), woman, respect, power, position

As the only character that does not catch a very cool African name, Scar should be king; he is much smarter than Mufasa, but he is neither strong nor handsome. But this is like electing a powerful handsome companion fighter George St. Pierre, the US president.

American whites are good; intellectuals should get less power and control. In addition, the British are particularly weak and have meaning (Jeremy Irons - British - is the voice of Scar).

(But black James Earl Jones is Mufasa 's voice, but like critics like President Obama many critics say he' hears white '.)

Marxist literary criticism is a loose term explaining literary criticism based on socialist and dialectical theory. Criticism of Marxists believes that literary works are a reflection of the social system of its origin. (Clarification: In fact, most Marxist critics are written chronologically early in Marxist literary criticism, they support the so-called "vulgar Marxism." In this social structure superstructural literary text Directory determined by the economic base of a particular society Therefore, literary text is the economic foundation of all social systems, and the "social institution from which it is derived" in the final analysis, or rather the human social relationship It is not determined by the economic base)

Marxist literary theory tends to focus on the expression of class conflict and strengthen the class difference through literary media. Marxist theorists use traditional literary analysis techniques, but do aesthetic care that is inferior to the ultimate social and political significance of literature. Marxist theorists often support the empathy of the authors' authors, whose working class and their work challenge economic equality in a capitalist society. According to Marxist's overall spirit, the literary theory created by Marxist paradigm not only seeks new ways to understand the relationship between economic production and literature, but also calls for all cultural production relations . Analysis of Marxist society and history had a major impact on literary theory and practical criticism, especially in the development of "new historism" and "cultural materialism".
