This response is moved over from Sparrabeth topic and for this reason I do not apologise for the double--or turn me into a pumpkin, it's okay with me. (well, NOT really okay, but I understand the rules etc).
The beach scene at the end of AWE , wedding "night" with Will and Elisabeth (although I'm of the mind of Lady Pirate/pirate mistress, Live journal's Until we do part wedding story).
Miz WilloftheWisp, thanks for covering my sorry behind on that one(why Will didn't kiss Elisabeth goodbye)--it never dawned on me to think grab him and never let go til the last possible nanosecond (as per ImpPiDiva). I am inclined to agree Miz Willo, it's his way of not allowing the pain to surface--to deny the pain by refusing the situation which precipitates it. I just don't know ImpPiDiva--I am of the similar mind as WilloftheWisp since you've ventured the question--it somehow seems like I am more in control if I withdraw from my partner, not so much like a little kid at first day of kindergarten, clinging and crying, although my woman's heart would be feeling just that. Miz WilloftheWisp, in the here and now, prompted by the beach scene, having seen the picture of your sweetheart, I can't begin to imagine giving him up for even a week--you are so much braver than me to even acknowledge that you loathe being separated.
Off-topic, but Pride and Prejudice is on and I swear to you, with PotC as my witness, if I shall ever have a man again in my life he damn well will learn the Don Juan Demarco hand speech (first of the movie) and he will walk across a field at daybreak to tell me "I love, love, love you" and tell me his affections have not altered while staring into my eyes. Yeah, now I am officially out of the business of ever having a life--but how totally cool would it be if there would ever be a future Mr. Godiva in Texas--lmao on that one for sure.
My "ships" I'd like to be my own--I've argued, cussed and discussed all sides--feel like what I believe shouldn't interfer with what any other human being so desires. I want my mates to be happy--don't care if you ship a stump as long as there's love. I tend to traditional despite a hell bent streak... I love young love and much as I am smitten by bad boy lust, I am cautious...
It's not a relationship-bashing question, but I do have a question based on what jacky mentioned. Okay, Liz took the medallion because she thought Little Will was a pirate. Makes sense. But why not give it back to him immediately after? It's not like she never ever saw him up until the movie started. It seems like they saw each other on and off through the years, why not just hand it to him one day and say, "oh, you thought you lost this, but I took it to protect you that day."
okay--2 cents worth time--I like to think she kept it as her first pirate booty--that she knew she should give it back--but on the other hand it was sort of her talisman for her piratical thoughts....although it hadn't been out of the drawer in a while according to the dust design around the coin--why did she pick that day to wear it, becos she dreamed about Will?
I agree with Texxy, I think that aside from protecting Will Liz kept it because it fascinated her! I mean it's no secret that she had read about Pirates and to a certain extent studied them. So coming across this "Pirate Medallion" probably gave her the sense of adventure and mystery that definately lacked in her life growing up in High Society! Maybe she felt important having such a mysterious keepsake and so she pocket it!!
