saw iv observation: mark hoffman is obsessed with control. he wants to feel like god. he wants to pull every string. he wants to always be omniscient, three steps ahead of everyone. he's thrown off by the evidence he leaves behind, like the skin abrasions from the harvesting of the jigsaw piece and the fingerprints (the chemicals on peter strahms fingertips that told the coroner's they were a dead guys fingerprints) and he falls apart because of that one oversight. he gives up control in the coffin trap. he puts his life in peter strahms hands- all strahm had to do was get in the coffin, and in the process, kill hoffman. strahm couldn't hand the control over to hoffman, and that's why he died. mark is obsessed with controlling every variable, and thats why he's so shocked that lawrence is alive and kramer's true apprentice- he was outside of hoffmans radius, he couldnt break gordon like he broke down jill. he was shocked that gordon was successful, and not only that, incredibly calculating, he was clever, and he was more in control than mark ever could have been
