Read Rosmarie Gavin's "The Lion King and Hamlet: A Homecoming for the Exiled
Child." In this small article, Gavin explains parallels she and her students find between
Hamlet and Disney's The Lion King. Among other questions, one of the fundamental
generative questions Gavin and her students ask is "What is a hero?" Based on your
reading of Hamlet, would you consider Hamlet to be a hero? If so, in what ways? If not,
why not? Is this heroism/lack of heroism in line with other heroes/anti-heroes we've read
this semester? In what ways? Your response should be approximately 500 words. This
response may not be AI-generated; neither should your ideas for this response.
