What Remains of Edith Finch – Story and Ending Explained

lewis edith finch

Lewis’ story is the most heartbreaking and beautifully told individual tale in What Remains of Edith Finch. From who is telling the story, to how it is presented, it is a perfectly told tale about a troubled young man who struggles to deal with an even more troubled family. After the disappearance of his brother Milton, Lewis began to shut himself off from the world and he was persuaded to see a therapist due to his substance abuse. He got a job a a cannery but his mind began to wander.

He saw himself as a traveler, destined to be king of another world – all of which is presented by a story book tale that begins to take over the screen as Lewis continues to decapitate fish at the factory. The therapist tells of how he began to live his life according the other world in his imagination. According to Lewis his imagination was as important as his body in the real world, and he left like it was somewhere he belonged. He met a princess, built cities in his name, and was being crowned King of the land, yet he continued to live in the real world. It took over his life so much that he forgot to go home after work and his family was becoming concerned about him. As he thought, the only way to be crowned and live his life as his imagination intended would be to end the real world Lewis. As he bends down at his coronation, his head is taken off by a guillotine, representing the machine in the cannery. He’d taken his own life so that he could live the life he felt he should and so that he could get away from the sadness of the real world. He was a young man that had been affected deeply by the death of his family and the curse that was becoming all too real for him. Lewis’ story is the most upsetting of all along Edith’s journey but it is presented and told perfectly.
