oh my goodness. i cant believe what I'm hearing.
none of us would sleep with anyone to find out. savvy?
most of us dont live on the same continent, let alone the same state.
most of us have other sources we pilfer for information. Pirates Life Fo is not seen as a walking script but another person to debate/discuss with. that's the purpose of these forums.
if this forum were called "blackmarket scripts for willing teenagers", then there might be an issue. its not.
we all flaunt spoilers now and then, not cause we want to get laid, but because we like the excitment of it.
this discussion needs to end. i hate it when people get suspicious of everyone else.
anyways, back to Will.
giggle. i like Will. i really do. 🙂 not in a pairing, but as a standalone figure. let's get psychological.
The first thing I always think about Will is the imprinting of the archetypal mother/woman/goddess image he has of Elizabeth. Referencing the work of Carl Jung and the collective unconscious, many people and cultures have a similar set of "stock characters" they draw from in order to stereotype people (which is generally a healthy practice allowing us to catagorize information in our brains).
His whole life was probably spent in a poor though happy home in England with his mother and one major hole-- the father figure. People who lack the father figure generally go one of several ways--- they seek out the missed male attention by turning homosexual, or mimic the behavior of their missed parent by becoming passive aggressive and emotionally unavailable to people they love, or by becoming extremely suspicious of all authority figures.
Will exhibits the third trait most clearly, though he does have his passive aggressive moments.
A huge portion of his thought life was shaken when he found out his father was a pirate--- and the fact that it came from someone who he despised at that point made it all the harder. 😉 he went through the typical stages of grief-- shock, denial, anger, etc.
It was also Jack who consistently reminded him of his inescapable fate being tied to piracy.
When Will saved Jack at the end of 1, we can see that as a desperate attempt to redeem his father and himself, by settling that one can be a pirate and a good man.
