In this final scene, Desdemona and Horatio are still waiting for their meal, and Horatio tells them that he's waiting for them on a field. He's going to kill them, he says, if they don't give him their family's forgiveness. He doesn't know how they're going to get there, but he knows that they've come to kill him. He wants to know where they are going, but they won't tell him. Horatio tells him that he used to be a good guy, but now he hates his wife. He tells her that she's a decent person, but that he wouldn't have killed her if he hadn't loved her so much. He says he'll kill her and her son, too, if he has to.
