Or this is from some text newly discover'd,
Or you live in some world of parallels
(As philosophic fablers oft do feign of),
For neither quarto, folio, nor modern
Edition calls for Roderigo's entrance
In any scene posterior to his stabbing.

Where does he pop up alive in V.ii? He's referred to as slain but has no
lines.

Doesn't he stay alive long enough to point the finger at Iago?

end of the play. Please explain."
I'm puzzled by this question; my Riverside Shakespeare and other editions
I've seen (incl. the quarto & Folio) don't show Roderigo appearing,
neither alive or as a corpse, in 5.2 at all. Also, Emilia is the one who
first reports that Roderigo is killed. Am I missing something?

>>But Roderigo pops up, alive, in V.ii...
No he doesn't. Lodovico produces a "letter, / Found in the pocket of the
slain Roderigo" (ll. 315-6). But perhaps you're thinking of the Oliver
Parker film, which momentarily -- and extra-textually -- resurrects
Roderigo on the surgeon's table to point out the skulking Iago.
