So in the end, who is really the protagonist? *SPOILERS*

[RegionalDialect]

I, probably along with many of you, just considered Booker to be the protagonist of BioShock Infinite without a second thought, but now I'm starting to think that it may really be Elizabeth. I believe that Booker is initially the protagonist, but once you rescue Elizabeth from Comstock House it seems like Booker is less the driving force of the plot, and more of just an aid to Elizabeth, and from that point right up to the conclusion of Burial at Sea episode 2 she is the true protagonist.

I know this means nothing anyway, but nevertheless I thought it was worth noting.

I`m think protagonist - is a protagonist, so means - protagonist - Bucker

Most critics considered Elizabeth the protagonist, at least from what I've heard.

Her character is developed throughout the entire game. Bookers character grew slowly until the end.
Elizabeth makes the most important choices in the game. While both characters are almost equally big, I consider her the star of the game.

You hit the nail on the head with saying "Booker is less the driving force of the plot".

Bucker - only the tip of the iceberg. but he's a good guy

[Vendz]

Also wanted to mention that it is a rarity to play the game from the view of someone who is not really the "main hero".

Booker and Elizabeth are BOTH the protagonists of the game. Each has their own time in the ligtht and are equally important to the story. Even in BaS Pt2 when the real Booker is not there Elizabeth imagines him being there. sm

Absolutely. Game have a two protagonists..

[Ivlichnov]

As the game goes on, Elizabeth progressively takes more control of the situation.

But the Lutece’s and Comstock have kind of seen these events already. The Lutece’s are trying to make the ending happen, while Comstock is trying to stop it.

By the end, Elizabeth is calling the shots and Booker is following her lead, as Liz tries to come to terms with and resolve her situation.

So rather than one protagonist, it's a story about father and daughter.

It's a good question.Given the nature of the story,Booker is a protagonist,but can be considered an antagonist as well.Elizabeth is most definetely a protagonist.
It's hard to classify the Luteces.It depends on one's own interpretation of the characters.
