The Folly of Ignoring Advice In Disney's The Little Mermaid, King Triton gives fatherly advice to Ariel. He tells Ariel that she should love whoever she wants, even if it's a human. .Ariel responds positively to her father and happily accepts his advice. In doing so, Ariel demonstrates that she has the intelligence and wisdom to accept her father's guidance. In Disney's The Lion King, Zazu warns Simba not to play in the elephant graveyard. Simba however ignores this advice and plays there anyway. He eventually falls down a rather large hill and hurts himself. If Simba had chosen to take the advice, he would not have hurt himself or disappointed Zazu. Both characters receive advice, but it is their choice whether they choose to accept or ignore the guidance. As in these cases in classic Disney films, many characters in King Lear are also given advice that they can choose to embrace or ignore. Throughout William Shakespeare's work, it is shown that it takes a truly wise person to give advice. Furthermore, those who are foolish choose not to take the advice. In the end, fools will suffer because of their ignorance. Throughout the play King Lear, this is shown repeatedly as characters struggle to gain power and show their loyalty. Evidently, choosing to ignore the advice of others leads to suffering. For starters, the wise men offer crucial advice to those who need it. First, recommendations are used to alert friends. Early in the play, Kent warns King Lear of the consequences of his actions when he warns Lear to "Reserve thy state / And in thy best regard control / This horrible rashness" (Ii151-153). Kent believes that Lear was very reckless in his decision to banish Cordelia. He thinks it's a terrible decision and is worried about the implications of such a hasty conclusion. Kent is full of intuition and perception and uses his wisdom to help his good friend Lear when he is in need. Furthermore, wise men use advice to warn their masters. For example, the servant in Act III stands up to Regan during her ferocious eye gouging and strongly advises her to stop her monstrous actions. The servant is appalled by Regan's actions and tells her that, although he has served her since childhood, he has never done her better service "than now to bid her withhold" (III.
