Best Answer

To Oroonoko, death is his only choice. He cannot bear the idea of his child being born into slavery and without any honour. As a result, he decides he must kill his beloved wife and their unborn baby in order to save them from the shame of living as a slave. It is now clear to him that no one intends to free him and all this time he has been led along. Dying with honour is the preferable choice for Oroonoko than living without.
