Comstock vs Fitzroy (spoilers)

Exactly what I took it to mean.

When he said that there wasn't a difference between the two, I thought that was odd as well. Then I realized that this dude had been around the block and he was cynical. He didn't need to see her do anything bad to know what kind of person she was.

I actually kind of liked that. BUT, I do think that Elizabeth's response should have been more shock to his statement. To show that Fitzjoy still hadn't shown her ways yet and that she had a different outlook on life.

I think it comes down to, Fitzroy and Comstock were "evil" both for the same reason. Fanatical belief about what they believed in.

Comstock, that religion, nationalism, institutional racism, etc, were the way to go. In the end it led to oppression and crime.

Fitzroy, was believed in almost the exact opposite, leading her to believe she needed to purge everyone that supported the system that Comstock believed in. Imagine if someone wanted to remake the US and they thought that the only way to do that was to nuke Washington DC, kill all the "ruling class" and their families, kill all the military, all their families, all the police and their families, all the "rich" people and their families, and all the government workers, in all the agencies, and all their families. No matter your political beliefs, that kind of fanaticism is going to be evil, regardless of your end goals.

What Booker said was that he believed Fitzroy and Comstock were both evil and both wrong. He knew because he knows the kind of people that they both are.


To a lesser degree, Booker and Elizabeth are "evil" as well. Booker and Elizabeth, kill and murder their way through Columbia and eventually kill both Fitzroy and Comstock.
