ah, lovethemtigers, stop making us all cry!!! hahaha. oh gee... it's so dramatic. but really, Jack is a very strong person, there is something very resilient about him. he's been through a lot in his life, and something tells me letting Elizabeth go (if we do accept the ending as is) will be bittersweet and somewhat sad, but won't wreck his life or anything.
i think i see what they were trying to do with Jack's ending in AWE (which would have worked better if they had planned AWE better on most levels)---- Jack is sailing away; he sailed into this one single story at the beginning of cotbp, and we didn't know where he was coming from or what, and he sort of got entangled in all these lives and adventures, and then by the end of AWE, he was sailing out of that adventure, away from all those lives and stories, and towards something new or different. similar, i suppose, to his connection to Elizabeth... fate or destiny or whatever, he was there when she fell, he saved her life, allowing himself to become involved, but then, when things were finally settled for her (at the end of AWE) and he had saved her life like 16 million times, and basically gotten more involved than he ever wanted to probably, he sends her off to her honeymoon and sails away, his work there accomplished. so his feelings are involved, but ultimately, he's a wanderer, and a guy (meaning he can compartmentalize) so i don't doubt he'll sail away and find plenty of things to be happy about in life.
i mean, at the end of casablanca, I always assume Rick is off to have some amazing adventures and enjoy himself, despite leaving his true love. right?
