This treatise on empathy and forgiveness may be the needed, but not the easiest, pill to swallow
Ellie herself is never lionized in the story. Instead, her quest is depicted as corrosive, consuming her physically and emotionally, as she becomes a murderer arguably worse than Abby . This culminates in her murder of a pregnant woman and, on another occasion, her threatening the life of a sleeping, defenseless teen in her bloodlust – two archetypes in fiction depicted as inherently innocent.emotional core of revenge fantasies – and in effect, satisfaction.
Abby’s backstory is gradually revealed. We learn that her father is the lead surgeon murdered by Joel to save Ellie in the first game. You witness the fallout of her killing Joel, with her being shunned by her friends before their subsequent deaths at the hands of Ellie. Ultimately, her story becomes one of redemption, with her caring for a teen from an enemy, not unlike Joel’s redemption in his care for Ellie.
The game at its core is not about gratification, but reflection and reconsideration. It takes the moral complexity of its predecessor’s final act and deepens by slow-releasing emotional turmoil across a 30-hour runtime. If, along the way, you feel uneasy about your actions. Then that itself is what Naughty Dog seeks to accomplish.conducted by the American University in 2014, fans are left dissatisfied when fictional characters die and leave them unresolved emotions.
It is also human to relapse, remain unapologetic while on a bender, and then, at a flip of a switch, contradict everything and be repulsed by everything you just did
