I'm going Willabeth. I watched an absolutely amazing Willabeth video, and started to like it. I was thinking things like "It's not lust or shallow like Sparrabeth. Will deserves to get the woman he loves. She loves him so much she'll wait for him for 10 years on that island." I don't know. Then I was trying to figure out why I loved Sparrabeth. I thought like "Maybe I just loved it because I loved the way they flirted on the Pearl. And they have great chemistry. But would I love it if they had no chemistry like Willabeth? Jack wouldn't be faithful." Then I started to be SATISFIED with a Willabeth ending.
Help?
Hmmm. That's a good thing for you! While us Sparrabethers sit around thinking about what could have been and never will be...you get satisfaction!! You get peace.
But I must say...the reason I love JE isn't cause they flirted!! I liked it because they challenged eachother. Elizabeth wanted him but didn't want to want him...same for him. She loved Will but she couldn't understand the feelings she had for Jack.
She commits the biggest act of piracy...she sacrifices Jack. Slakes her lust, drowns her temptations(literally) and then decides to rid herself of the guilt by going after him.
She tells him that he's a good man...and if he proves this and becomes a good person like her he can gain the rewards that people like her deserve to have...meaning having her. But to be that good person he mustn't put her in a position that will compromise her honor...so he can't have her.
So she's basically saying that he can have her if he's a good person but to be that good person he has to refrain from having her so...he can never have her. Savvy?! So that's very beautiful IMO.
It's the fact that they can't have eachother...he loves his freedom and she loves Will but they'll always want eachother none the less. Forbidden love mates...
BTW I read chapter 10 of The Flying Dutchman and....so sad!! So beautiful!! Thank god there's sequel.
