This movie was totally human and I was pleased Quentin decided to do it. It's like, he knows that Marcellus was his only real danger and that his death would avoid him all the trouble. And he thinks about leaving and changes his mind because he remembered that Marcellus wasn't so bad as a person. This or he just felt like Zed and the other were both even worse people.

I think the script said something about him deciding no one deserved that kind of fate.

Its like the best 'not even to my worst enemy...' example i can think of
And props to Marcelles for letting Butch skip town afterward too
He had plenty of cause to murder him
