[quote="AladdinsGenie"][quote="Meesh"]- When the vendor says, "She says she knows the sultan," what was his point here??

- The guards just straight up leave Jasmine to find her own way home alone in the city after capturing Aladdin? If I were her, I would have followed them the WHOLE WAY and not let Aladdin out of my sight.

- If Abu touching the forbidden treasure counts, then why does Abu entering the cave NOT count?

- Also slight confusion that all of the treasures are forbidden, but one is CALLED the forbidden treasure.[/quote]

I think Farouk found it hard to believe Aladdin had any family who worked in the palace :lol:. There's an understood social class structure at play here, and it's unlikely the family Aladdin is suddenly saying he had were high enough in standing to be able to work for the royal family (even in what would have been a presumably lesser role but close enough to ask the sultan for money) AND have a notorious thief ruining their name on the streets.

Jasmine: How do I get home?
Razoul: ....back the way you came? duh? :lol:

I'm assuming they have guards posted all around the city, and he told the closest ones to take her back while they handled Aladdin. That, or when they hauled Aladdin off (I think some sort of transportation is involved here since this would be a looooong walk), he had one of those men we saw stay behind and take Jasmine home. By the time Jasmine is interrogating Jafar, she's still reeling from the incident yet they had enough time to sentence and 'execute' Aladdin by nightfall. There's no way they found out she was in the city unsupervised and did [i]nothing[/i] about it.

My question is how did no one in the palace know Jasmine was gone for like 12+ hours? NO ONE wondered why they hadn't seen the princess all day? Not even in her room or in the garden or next to her suddenly depressed pet? She wasn't seen for breakfast or lunch, and no one that handles her clothes or schedule was alarmed?

So either:

1. The cave would have given that spiel if you touched literally any treasure that wasn't the lamp since it's all forbidden temptations meant to throw the unworthy off

or

2. 99% of the treasure in the cave is not necessarily 'forbidden', but it's just that one in particular was the worst one to touch because it was being held by an idol - hence why the cave calls them infidels specifically. That was typically said towards people who do not respect or follow your religion in a deragatory way (and to be fair, it's deliberately set up as a last-second temptation contrasted against you finally reaching the 'beat up, worthless piece of junk' you're there for despite it containing a god-like entity inside). If that was part of whatever inner magic-religious-power the cave had, then yeah, I can see why that's THE forbidden treasure versus some gold pots and coins I told you not to touch.

And the thing with Abu being able to enter the cave I feel like is an extention granted to him by way of Aladdin being the current diamond in the rough since Abu technically would also be considered someone whose worth lies far within. It's just that his greed gets the better of him occasionally, and this was one of those times when it would have been best if it didn't (even when the cave intentionally provokes it, but that's what a true diamond in the rough would see through and avoid).[/quote]
