6. What ironic implications arise from Rudy's concern about the law and fair play and justice on the one hand and his failure to report his involvement in the incident in Kelly Riker's apartment on the other? Is Rudy a law breaker? Is he to be admired or despised? (The facts are sometimes not made clear here. Rudy strikes Cliff in self-defense and renders him semi-conscious. While he is lying on the floor in this state, no longer presenting a threat of imminent harm, Kelly kills him. Kelly's actions are not justified by traditional self-defense laws. Only by Rudy's absence is the impression created that the fight was between Cliff and Kelly alone, leaving the prosecutor to conclude that Kelly was only defending herself.)
