Good and Evil Casablanca

The study of right and wrong. Pretty much states what is and isn’t very important. ''A good will is good not because of what it affects or accomplishes, nor because of its fitness to attain some proposed end''. It is good in itself''. In other words …when the good of people is put out there to people, it is necessary to do well for the sake of goodwill and not for some self gain. Take the movie Casablanca; it contains hope, despair, and optism, disillusion, lost ideas. But it also holds the key to freedom…as in the visa. The visa represents more than just a travel book or piece of paper but the rite of passage. When Rick realizes he is the one hope for Lisa and Laszlo's escape to freedom, Blaine goes missing, therefore putting Rick to act right.

Now to look at it in a different way, Kantian ethics demand we not lie, like don’t tell the truth what so ever…yet Rick lies to Lisa even though he has motives that are sacrificing to himself. He gets Lisa to eventually leave with him, yet Rick was secretly putting in advances to Lisa and Laszlo’s leaving as it was. A deontologist demands we look at the untruth as lying to Lisa as very sexist and mocking. He cannot view her as a person who can see in the right views. This takes her on, her own.

Countering this option, Ricks lying is more of an act of selflessness that personally deep down Rick understands Lisa and laszols must leave together; mind you he still is in total infatuation of Lisa. Meaning he still loves Lisa. Near this point we have to see Rick get transformed and free of all sins due to love…yeah right…To often a moral issues gets trapped on numerous actions between pleasure and pain.

As in the lie Rick told Lisa is making it so Rick’s actions make him have his way right or wrong. And His actions will benefit him more than it would Laszlo’s.

Now with Lisa and Laszlo leaving together as one…that makes it easy for Victor to his anti-Nazi resistance. At this point we can now put to and to together and say both concepts of deontological and consequential are not in stipulations of pleasure or pain but the consequence of actions to make both happy. Take a look at this; do you think all of this would benefit Victor Laszlo’s work and Ricks work? Rick clearly knew Laszlo would never leave without Lisa.

Utilitarian’s what really determines the state of action is the understanding of what will and should happen if someone was to do it. Happiness leads to desirable which is the utilitarian result Rick fully understands he will never ever see Lisa again if he leaves on an air plane with this Victor man, and yet he still helps them regardless of him being happy or not. The good here is because Rick sees
