Zira - A Tyrant?

Postby SnowyCheetah » July 15th, 2010, 8:11 pm

Do you think Zira would have been a tyrant if she'd gotten to power in the Pridelands, or just a nasty leader? I'm leaning toward tyrant lol.

Depends on your definition of tyrant. With the classical definition Zira is the very definition of a tyrant, seeking to take power by her own means rather than by legitimate succession. I'm guessing you didn't mean that definition though, because there's no debate about it =3

The other aspects of a tyrant including placing oneself above the interest of one's people, and I think in that category, Zira does not fit the definition. She's trying to gain her people the food, land, and dignity that they lost when they were exiled.

Whether or not she'd be a cruel ruler, the final common characteristic of a tyrant, I'm not sure. I think it's safe to assume that the pridelanders would be treated badly, but I don't think Zira would be cruel to her own pride. She's always been as good to them as circumstance allowed before, even if her motives and methods were a bit off =3

Good thinking, Mike. I guess that would mean she is only partially a tyrant.

She cared about Scar. KTHXPWNT

Well, I kind of agree with Mike here. After all, Zira just wanted the best for her and her pride in a twisted way, so I doubt she'd end up as a 'tyrant'.

Maybe.

If she had managed to kill Simba and make herself Queen of the Pridelands... I imagine she’d exile (or kill) the Pridelander pride. It’s very difficult to say what kind of leader she’d be when she finally had gotten what she wanted: Power, a high position..

I think the same thing would happen to her as what happened to Scar.. She’d become mad with power, it would totally go to her head. She and the other Outlanders would most likely overhunt, being completly excatic over being able to hunt big prey and fill their bellies.

I know Zira was a good leader to the Outlander pride (when they were living in the Outlands) but back then they were just training and working as a unit to fulfill their goal of revenge.

Knowing Zira, she would have ruled with an iron paw, just like Scar did, so if you want to call that being a tyrant, than yes, she would have, although since it's merely speculation from this point on, i chose the maybe option. :)

Just knowing Zira wants to walk in Scars pawprints, then yes!
