 | | Thus the Arab's panic, his desperate effort to talk to Daru, and his long hesitation, result from his belated realization that the avengers are waiting. |
 | | Daru thinks he is giving the Arab freedom, which the Arab, as a human being, already had; in fact, unwittingly, he gave the Arab moral responsibility by recognizing his freedom. |
 | | No doubt this is his homage to Daru's humanity; he pays for Daru's death with his own life, and thereby assures meaning for an otherwise senseless murder. |
