EP 219: Bioshocked: Part II, Hour of the Tower: Bioshock Infinite’s Elizabeth

Co-hosts Tete DePunk and Fortunus Games talk about Elizabeth Comstock from the 2013 game, "Bioshock Infinite." They explore the following questions:

  1. Elizabeth stands out from many female characters, especially in gaming. What do you think are the key traits that make her stand out?
  2. What makes her story and personality carry the story so well? Why is she so vivid? 
  3. So for Tete, a former homeschooler, Elizabeth’s own experiences and struggles resonate STRONGLY with Tete. What are some of the parallels between Elizabeth’s challenges and Tete’s/other homeschoolers? 
  4. How is Elizabeth’s isolation similar to extreme homeschooling? 
  5. Elizabeth struggles, too, with a toxic parent. What are the effects we can see manifest in Elizabeth’s life and mindset in Infinite?
  6. Although non-canonical, Burial at Sea gave us a glimpse into an alternate Elizabeth. Was she out of character? Or did we see the further “effects” of her past catch up with her? 
  7. What can we learn from the outcome of both Infinite and Burial at Sea?
