Crito
The dialogue takes place in Socrates' prison cell, where he awaits execution. He is visited before dawn by his old friend Crito, who has made arrangements to smuggle Socrates out of prison to the safety of exile. Socrates seems quite willing to await his imminent execution, and so Crito presents as many arguments as he can in order to persuade Socrates to escape. On a practical level, Socrates' death will reflect badly on his friends--people will think they did nothing to try to save him. Also, Socrates should not worry about the risk or the financial cost to his friends; these they are willing to pay, and they have also arranged to find Socrates a pleasant life in exile. On a more ethical level, Crito presents two more pressing arguments: first, if he stayed, he would be aiding his enemies in wronging him unjustly, and would thus be acting unjustly himself; and second, that he would be abandoning his sons and leaving them without a father.
Willard (1971 film)
The next day, a worker spots the rats. Al bludgeons Socrates to death, devastating Willard. When Joan refuses to persuade Willard to sell his house to Al, he fires both her and Willard, believing unemployment will force Willard to sell. That night, while Al is still at work, Willard enters the office with all of his rats. He confronts Al over the death of Socrates, the mistreatment of his father, and Al's machinations to buy his house, and instructs the rats to kill him. Unable to endure the agony of being chewed to death, Al commits suicide by jumping out the window. Unnerved by Al's gruesome death, Willard abandons Ben, orders the remaining rats into crates, and drowns them all in the backyard pit. He seals up any holes through which rats could gain entry.
