But she still decides to march down that dark hallway, knowing that her death will one day grant Sally, and the rest of the Little Sisters, their freedom.The level was once the Special Exhibit wing of the Memorial Museum. If she did care about her well-being, she would’ve never returned to Rapture: With the ability to see through all of the “doors,” she would’ve seen her own death behind them. But it makes sense when you consider how little she cared for herself during the lobotomy scene and her final encounter with Fontaine. It’s a bleak way to look at Elizabeth’s life. I wouldn’t say that Elizabeth was ever happy, but I certainly think that, knowing how things were going to turn out for the best, she was satisfied.” In a similar discussion thread, Oogity_Boogity_Boo adds, “She had the power to make things better for so many others, and she took it. She didn’t want omniscience - she longed for simple human happiness, but she wasn’t destined to ever have it.”
But she wasn’t some sort of deity - she was a normal girl with human emotions and desires. Reddit poster Smartasm sums it up: “The circumstances made it impossible for Elizabeth to have a normal life and to be happy. The only person she ever loved is Booker, hence the imaginary version that shows up in Episode Two. She killed her father (and “only friend”) so Comstock wouldn’t exist. Even though she had the power to travel to other worlds and possibly start a new life, she doesn’t go through with it. Some people thought that one of the reasons why Elizabeth sacrificed herself is because she has nothing left to live for. Image Credit: 2K Games Elizabeth wanted to die Horrified by her behavior, she goes back to Rapture to repay her “debt” to Sally. She already had an agenda: Get Comstock to remember who he was by threatening the life of a little girl he cares about. And in Rapture, powerful men and women took advantage of young orphans, turning them into Little Sisters against their wills.Īrguably, Elizabeth became a part of that cycle the moment she kills Daisy Fitzroy in Infinite, a streak that continued when she stepped foot in Rapture. Comstock took Anna and imprisoned her in a tower, and he selfishly harnessed her special abilities for his own twisted schemes. Booker sold his daughter, Anna, to pay off his gambling debts, hiding his shame at the bottom of a bottle. In her quest of righting her father’s wrongs, Elizabeth succumbed to the same sins that Booker and Comstock committed. It’s about ending the cycles of exploitation and violence that plague the DeWitts.”

Once Elizabeth accepted her fate, he says (starting at the 34:15 mark), “Elizabeth is finally free from guilt. YouTube user Noah Caldwell-Gervais explains this theory quite eloquently in the video above, where he examines how BioShock Infinite’s DLC ties back to the main story.
Though she never explicitly says it, her conversations with the imaginary Booker DeWitt, flashbacks with the Lutece twins, and her various black-and-white visions imply that she feels guilty for exploiting Sally in Episode One - going as far as turning up the heat inside the vents to lure her out - just so she could take revenge on the last Comstock. One question that Elizabeth struggles with in Episode Two is why she bothered returning to Rapture at all. Hearing about them gave me a new appreciation of the story and its characters, and though Irrational’s time with that universe is over, it has given us enough material to sort through for at least a couple of decades. Here are some of the best theories I found, ranging from the plausible to the fantastic.
