He's trying to ease his mother's suffering, to stop her from being constantly reminded that she's barren, and that she subjected so many sentient fetii to horrible deaths. When he tries to suffocate himself at the end of the game, he's not trying to escape. The different playable characters are his different personality facets Satan is his sins, Isaac 2 is his resulting regret at existing (that's why "II"ssac looks so happy when he dies), and ? is his subsequent suicidal urges. "This kid is called Isaac! I bet Mom wants me dead too!" Gameplay is a psychonautical mental battle, for Isaac's belief in his right to exist. When he sees his mother finding solace from her grief in her faith, he flips open a Bible. His imaginings are all recorded in the form of his drawings ("I was killed by."). It's why Isaac wishes so badly that he could destroy himself in the womb, before he destroyed her. It's why Isaac's imaginary ventures are tormented by visions of himself, killing his half-formed and broken potential siblings and eventually tearing through his mother's internals. Neglected, Isaac slowly starts to understand that his mother rues his existence. All subsequent pregnancies resulted in miscarriages.That's why Mom tried to dress Isaac as the daughter she always wanted, that's why she became so tormented and neglected Isaac like he was a curse, that's why Isaac's father left. Isaac's gestation irrevocably damaged his mother.
