In Shakespeare's King Lear, Edmund at the end chooses to do something good with his life and hints to the impending massacre of Cordelia and Lear. I thought it was very human of somebody who has not been recognized as a legitimate son to be jealous and wonder why not him, and somewhere along those contemplations he grew tired of being ignored that just wanted his life to mean something or prove self-worth. Granted that he was caught as a conspirator, Edmund found no worth in his endeavors and at the end he chose to do something good. Maybe I'm interpolating too much but Edmund was human and even though he was bad but he had reasons; however in the end, he chose to do something good when he could have simply died with his damaged pride.
P.s. I commented on Susan's
