PopperTheKungFu-Dragon says > I don't think it was because he lost everything. He seemed to expect that already. I think he was going to kill himself because he couldn't have her. He had changed his mind about suicide when she came to him, but when she started crying, he realized she still had mixed feelings about him and so he went ahead with his original plan of killing himself.
It's been a while since I saw the movie and you seem to have seen it more recently so, at this point, you may remember it better than me. However, as I recall, things were closing in on him and he had no way out.
Any hesitation on his part was because he had probably planned to take her with him into death. I don't think he was the type to face what he must have known was coming his way - retribution for all he had done. The only act of mercy he'd ever shown was to let her go. After all that time, she still didn't want him but her will was so beaten down she was willing to stay.
Woman, man! That's the way it should be Tarzan. [Tarzan and his mate]
