The theme of trust is one of the major themes in the movie. Mr. Orange joins the gang as an undercover police. He is deceitful and manages to make the gang members trust him. Mr. White trusts Mr. Orange largely and reveals his identity to him. Even when Joe suspects that Mr. Orange is a police informant, Mr. White defends him and even threatens to kill Joe if he executes Mr. Orange. Mr. White kills Joe eventually (Tarantino 4-9, 106-110).
Another incidence where trust is breached emanates when Mr. Orange betrays Mr. White. Mr. White trusted Mr. Orange to an extent of revealing his identity to him even though it was against the rules of the gang. All through the movie, Mr. White defends Mr. Orange even when others doubt him. He even tries to justify anything Mr. Orange does. However, Mr. Orange does nothing to defend Mr. White when the police storm the warehouse. On the contrary, he is the one who had informed them of the robbery. Mr. Orange gets himself shot so that he can deceive the rest of the gang that he was a victim just like them (Tarantino 75-81).
Another character who breaches the trust is Mr. Pink. When he manages to escape with the diamonds, he hides under the stairs. He eventually escapes with the diamonds. This is irrespective of the fact that other gang members had participated in the robbery. Although he reveals that he had managed to steal the diamonds, he does not reveal where he had hidden them. He waits until the gang members fight each other and finds a chance to escape. The team members loss trust on each other and they end up killing each other since they cannot agree on who had betrayed them (Tarantino 100-105).
