The novel makes it clear that Lamb was like this before coming to Rapture, but it wasn't until she had access to desperate people incapable of escape that she started thinking about a 'revolution.' At first you chalk up Ryan's hatred of Lamb to her being a Dirty Communist, but then you realize the utter disconnect between her terrifyingly soothing public face and her utter lack of empathy for anyone, from her followers to her daughter.Sofia just seems cold and uncaring, speaking to Delta like he's just some especially troublesome organism on a lab table that won't stay still. He at least showed passion in keeping 'his' city, whenever he communicates with Jack.

Her demeanor, which seems so cold and detached in comparison to Ryan.Sofia: But there is one detail of your mutual bond she failed to account for: your body was designed to lapse into a coma when her heart ceases to beat.

More than one diary talks about how the speaker was so awful before Doctor Lamb 'cured' them, but now they can serve the Family and do some good.

The fact that Lamb used her psychiatry sessions not to comfort vulnerable and needy people, but rather to Mind Rape them into believing they were horribly selfish, 'cure' them of their 'selfishness', and get them to join her creepy Utopian cult is utterly evil, and utterly terrifying.

Think of it as a father watching his daughter watch him commit forced suicide.

Don't think of it in terms of Big Daddy/Little Sister.

And that you'll probably use in this game still.With a plasmid that you probably have used in the previous game.And then she tells you to remove your helmet, put a pistol to your temple. Lamb sees Eleanor solely as something belonging to her, to mold and shape as she sees fit. Her name is Eleanor, and she is mine.' There is no love in this voice. So playing through now, trying to get a particular ending, it feels like I'm granting him a favor instead of punishing him and it's bothering me because it feels like it doesn't line up with the other choices I've made so far. And that was before I knew of all the ending possibilities and metagaming to get the ending I wanted - I was just playing the game and making choices I thought were right. I'm pretty sure the first time I played the game I killed him because, like I said, I thought it was the kinder thing to do. Killing Gil is granting his last wish and essentially saving himself from his own madness. To get the alternate good ending where Sophia dies, you need to kill all NPCs. However, after looking up the ending requirements again, it seems like the game doesn't agree with this. The sane side of himself begs you to kill him because he's gone completely mad so that seems like the kinder thing to do. I originally chose to spare Gil because I felt like that was more punishing to him than killing him. I'm replaying Bioshock 2 right now and I'm going for an alternate good playthrough where I save all the little sisters and punish the NPCs, which for the majority of them, is to kill them.
