[quote="AladdinFan"]1. Do you think Rasoul knew/suspected anything about Jafar's plot to overthrow the sultan, and if so, what?
No, he seems to dedeciated to the Sultan. I agree with the above posts.

2. Do you think his jealousy/hatred of Aladdin is at all justified?
In the begining of the movie, yes. He was a criminaly who always got away. That makes resoul look very bad in terms of being captain of he guards. Then in Jafar's return, Aladdin "allies" with Iago, the sultan's enemy, and given Rasul's dedication to the Sultan, Rosul probably is justified in hating aladdin. In addition, there is jealousy because any such disloyality among him or his guards would have probably resulted in them getting fired or worse. Later, in KOT, Rasul is again bitter because of hidden  fear. Imagine if someone you tried to arrest, detain, and otherwise make life miserable for, were to suddenly become sultan.

3. Do you think he really is as loyal to the sultan as he claims to be?
Yes, he's seems to be very loyal to the sultan. From the cartoon series that I've read (the transcripts), Rosul always seems to be defending what he thinks is in the best interests of the sultan.

4. Do you think he was right to follow Jafar's order over Jasmine's in the first movie?
Absolutely. We assume Jafar is telling the truth when he says the sultan charged him with keeping peace in Agrabah. And Aladdin is a criminal at the time, Rasul knows this. So in actuallity, Jasmine does have authority over Jafar, but not over the sultan. Since arresting a criminal is keeping peace, arresting Aladdin is an indirect order of the sultan and so Jasmine has no authority over him.

5. Why do you think he tried to drown Prince Ali? (And, no, "because Jafar said so" isn't a good enough reason [or is it? Wink ])
I'd say he was memorized by Jafar's snake staff. The sultan has great interest in Ali because he may win Jasmine's heart and Rosul would probably know this. In addition, killing the prince of another kingdom will probably lead to war and might not be in the best interest of Agrabah and the sultan.

6. Do you still think he will stay in Agrabah once Aladdin is sultan?
Yes, Aladdin seems to not take anything Rosual does to him personally. If he did, Aladdin has the eyes and ears of the princess and to some extent the sultan and could put in bads words for Rasul. He does not.[/quote]
