The Fallen Hero
The fallen hero to me refers to the classic tragic hero in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. A tragic hero in Shakespeare’s time was to be considered as someone who once held a great position but due to lust for greed and power, they fall to a tragic end.

So as a young cub, Simba, runs away from the kingdom and Scar gets the thrown....
