Foil

Character Role Analysis

Mufasa/Scar

Brothers from the same (probably very stressed out) mother, Mufasa and Scar could not have turned out more differently. Whereas Mufasa is the pride of the pride, Scar is the black sheep, scrawny and duplicitous and strangely accented. Whenever Mufasa does something virtuous, Scar is always lying in wait, ready to undermine whatever virtuousness his brother has done.

They're day and night, these two. Couldn't get more foil-y than that.
