Depiction of Death (Continued)
At first, this depiction of death seems to be quite cruel. The characters inevitably die and are resurrected to complete a challenge that leads only to death again. However, this depiction of death, the void, is actually allowing a chance for "redemption" by reanimating the conscious of the dead characters in the alive ones so they may work together. Eventually, the player may find a resolution that save everyone. Solving the final problem, by framing Patrick who kills them, creates a butterfly effect that prevents everyone's doom. This is shown below where the fish representing Lisa, Ranni, and Graham, are finally free. Concluding Munroe's depiction of death is that death is necessary and inevitable and despite how death may be perceived, it is not evil and should be accepted.
The technology used to demonstrate this imagery enhances the views on mortality. Originally when the characters saw these fish, they were indifferent. However, after realizing they may die, they understood that life is meaningful and must be cherished.
