User blog comment:Mr Bio Shock/Attempting to Understand Infinite's Ending... (Spoilers, of course)/@comment-98.149.162.92-20130404223846

I confess to having arrived at a state of aporia after the conclusion. I have one question which I was hoping that some of you could answer: is it possible that Elizabeth, the person that we came to know in the game, continues to exist after the drowing of Comstock/Booker? The general concensus seems to be that, after Booker/Comstock was drowned, he returned to 1893, to the period right before he lost his daughter. Since Comstock, Columbia, etc. has been whiped from existence, Anna will go on to live a happy life with her real father, Dewitt. I largely agree with this interpretation of events, and I think it lends the ending an air of optimism. I find it hard to believe, however, that Elizabeth ceases to exist. First of all, she is perhaps the best crafted character that I have ever encountered in a game, and it seems unlikely that Levine would just write her off. Second, after Booker is drowned in the water and the various incarnations of Elizabeth begin to disappear, we are still left with one at the end, the girl that accompanied us in the game. The credits roll before we definitively know what happens to her, and I think it is left a little ambiguous. Lastly, the core premise of the game is that there are an infinite number of universes/realities based on the outcomes of the decisions that we make. Isn't it possible that there is a universe/reality where Dewitt makes the decision not to kill himself, a universe where everything that Comstock touched isn't erased from history? Before he and Elizabeth enter the final light house, she asks him, "Are you sure that you want to do this?" Isn't it possible that in another reality, he said no?
