Question

PLEASE HURRY!!!! Why do you think Captain Renault doesn’t arrest Rick at the end of the movie (timecode 1:40:30)? How might an audience in 1942 have interpreted this action given the nationalities of the characters and the political situation at the time?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think that Captain Renault didn't arrest Rick because he trusts Rick and what Rick is doing. He thinks Rick is a smart person and that his judgement is good. I also think he didn't arrest Rick because he is loyal. The film shows many different competing and conflicting motivations in the characters.

Hope this helps:)
