Within a couple days of getting out of the hospital, him and Esther are driving, and get hit by Paul. He's on the mend, and is given medication to help with the pain. He gets a visit from Esther while he's still affected by the anesthetic, and is only able to barely recognize who she is. Your character had a previous hospital stay, where he was recovering from kidney stones. This is my best attempt at reading over the dialogue on the above link, and finding out what happened. There are so many parts in the dialogue where your character switches between 3rd person and 1st person, so it "very easily" gets confusing about who he's referring to. My opinion about what happened has changed a little. Reading the dialogue a little more carefully this time. I just found the following site, that lists all of what's said while playing "Dear Esther". Obviously I condensed the story, as there are heaps of extra things that are mentioned like his children for example.īut what are peoples thoughts? Am I Right? Do you agree? I NEED CLOSURE! In his delirium from pain medication, he hobbles to a tall radio tower, he makes his peace with the world, he looks forward to seeing his wife again, he jumps.Ī Sad story about a man who could not live without his love, Esther.
Donnelly believes that this was all in fate that this had happened, that his wife had died. He realises that Paul hadn’t been drunk at all but he had suffered a heart attack at the wheel, it was his weak heart that caused this tragedy. He continues to write his thoughts down and sends them home as if Esther will be there reading them, even though he knows that she is dead. Donnelly, now having lost his last connection to his wife through Paul, spirals even deeper into addiction, and starts to lose his connection to reality. Paul, having an apparent heart condition, partly from his old age, has a heart attack at home and dies. Months go by and Paul is not doing well, They meet up again to see if they can give each other support, but it is obvious that Donnelly still believes that Paul was drunk when he hit them.
Donnelly tries to look to religion for comfort but they are unable to give him the support he needs, he rejects the help they try to give over and over and eventually they give upon him. Donnelly decides to meet up with Paul to make peace with him, but Paul isn’t coping with what he had done either, he swears to Donnelly that he wasn’t drinking when the accident happened, but Donnelly continues to try and find the truth. As he was nursing a serious leg injury from the crash, Donnelly becomes addicted to his pain medication and starts quick descent into depression.
Donnelly is stricken with grief of his loves death he withdraws from society and becomes a hermit.
Donnelly continues to visit Esther every day while she is in hospital, eventually Esther dies. As we move deeper into the Island we metaphorically move deeper into the mind of Donnelly, we hear of his relationship with Esther and his continual search for answers to why the accident happened. As the player moves through the island, cryptic poetry unfolds to show us that some form of motor accident had occurred. The player starts out on an Island, an Island which is made up of the culmination of Donnelly’s deep grief induced madness and his eventual disconnecting from society. Paul eventually dies from a weak heart and as Donnelly contemplates life without Esther he takes his own life in a hope to be with his beloved again.īasing the Story on the above premise leads me to the below elaboration.

IMO, Dear Esther is about a man (Donnelly) who has a car accident with another drunk driver (Paul Jakobson) and loses his wife (Esther) to a coma and then eventually death, Donnelly although making peace with Paul cannot get past the grief of losing his wife and becomes addicted to his medication.
