i LOVE that scene! she´s very serious (or at least tries to). nearly seems she wants to kick his ass and then just look at his eyes, like "lying to yourself love is not the right way, you know that!"
she looks tired, and resolved. not entirely happy about her resolve, but she's not going to play games with him this time. she's seen where that led before.
Jack is just teasing her, and more gently than he has before, in my mind. of course, i don't know the rest of the conversation, but "keep telling yourself that, darling" is a good way of saying, "oh no, by all means, marry the whelp... me and the Pearl will just be hanging out, looking hott. but if that's what you want, go for it." he doesn't seem as manipulative or overpowering as in DMC... but like I said, havent seen the full conversation.
it's so frustrating to me how they are never on the same page--- first she wants him, then he wants her, but they never seem to hit the mark at the same time, except when they are out to kill one another.
pride, oh yes...they both have a lot of it. i think he IS somehow tired of it. i suppose he knows what COULD be between the two if they were both willing to give up that pride which keeps them apart, even only of a deeper friendship. he knows she has killed him and is actually much too young for him. he is, from liz´s point of view, just a dirty old pirate which can´t satisfy her desire for a decent husband. at least this is what she keeps telling herself...

ah...kate, you always seem to know how to make us laugh...when we feel like crying...I love how you said...Jack's look is like "go ahead and marry the eunichy whelp, if that's what you want....me and the Pearl will just be hanging out looking hott and sexy..and free...but since this isn't what you want, then by all mean go...run off with yourself, then..."....
ah...jack ...he never looked more sexier than he does at that exact moment...looking all brave and strong and resolute.....

Yep. To be fair, the age difference between Liz and Norrington was the common age difference for people to marry back then. It doesn't have to be overwhelming, but the ideal pair was where the guy was about 10 years or so older than the girl. It was actually less common for two people the same age to marry. Will and Liz are actually being very unconventional there.
Also, yep to Jack's (stupid) reasons for not abandoning his pride and just telling her he loves her. I think he does think he's too old for her but he'd get pretty pissed if anyone else said that. That must be a conflict. He knows they're similar, perfectly compatible and deep down she's just as "bad" as he is, but yet there has to be that lingering "she's a good girl, virgin, I'd just corrupt her" thing going on.
you´re right, the age difference was normal for that time, exactly like the fact girls didn´t have to say a word who they ought to marry...
but jack always appeared a little older to me than norrington.
well, a reason for this may be the large amount of sun and fights..
what do you think how old jack is? (i guess he´s about 30, 32 )
When I first watched COTBP...I assumed Jack to be in his early to mid thirties....but the actor who plays him, Johnny Depp is 43....so who knows how old Jack is....they never really say...all we know is that he was old enough to make a deal with Davy Jones 13 years ago...from the day of DMC...so....but I just always assumed that Jack is somewhere about 12 to 15 years older than Will and Elizabeth...
And yes,....age difference back in those days was very common...shoot I had just read a historical romance novel last summer...before I saw DMC..where the girl was 18 and the man she falls in love with is 42...and it was called "Forbidden Love"...but it's so great...cuz it's all about how the man thinks he is too old for her...and he was her guardian..and but then he can't help himself...he falls in love with her....
