The changing of the guards.
Guards exchange casual conversation about the King who has died.
Very vague and limited details.
Author uses this technique to draw in the reader.
Ghost of the king appears. Men tremble and ask of its presence.
The theme is undeclared and the true plot has yet to be introduced.
Only a casual conversation and the appearance/reappearance of a ghost is the context to the play.
Dr. Preston says that the Lion King can vaguely be based on Hamlet. It is definitely not "based on" Hamlet.
Elizabethan language is used. Few characters (not any of whom are main characters) have been introduced.
