She's an interesting character, Jack's mom, even if we only see a shot or two of her shrunken head! I don't see her as a whore, either, tex. Somewhere along the line Jack got something of an education and did work for the EITC at one time, so she had to be at least a little respectable. I kind of see her as I see Elizabeth, like maybe she was a middle class girl who led a double life. On the surface she was just another member of society but was dating a pirate and little by little, she had more and more of her own adventures. It's my guess that she was almost a single parent since Teague doesn't seem too fatherly and he and Jack don't appear to be all that close, so she had to be tough.
I heard, at the end of the show, Jack had his mom's head tied to his belt, for some reason, like a rabbit's foot, i.m.h.o. I see Jack's mom as a nobody still for some reason, trying to kick it off. That means, we should put Jack in the guilt, for rubbing in to us about his dead mother.

Pearls was an interesting one. I didn't finish it, but I certainly liked the premise. Sleepy Lotus was one of my favs--- but I got seriously upset when she never finished one or other of her stories I was hooked on...Willo, I think we have entirely opposite views of Jack's mother. 😉 haha. I had in my head Jack's mother as not married to Teague, Indian, a high-class whore employed by the East India Company, and a total drug addict. You know, something of a mystic, not all there. I was very intrigued by the "shrunken head" bit of Pirates 3 (not quite sure I understood it, but...) and interpreted it in the sense that there was something magical/supernatural about her that she might not have been aware of. And mostly, that she had almost no contact with Jack and died when he was still fairly young, hence his tendency to objectify and simplify women. Until he met Elizabeth that is. haha.
That reminds me of the Asian Jacks Thread. That would be interseting if he was Indian. Anyway, he is involved in the E.I.T.Co. India was a popular country, even in Chinese-Indonesia, because of its religion, though, so, you might want to think that one over again. The magic about her could just be that she was crazy. It is brutal when you are able to think of the head. I think Teague has become a stupid icon, as well. He does not really connect to Jack, and, that, I really wonder why, now.

Isn't that weird that two people can have such completely different images? Lol! I love it, that's why psychology is amazing. What is especially fun is neither one of us can ever be right...unless there is a prequel that goes way back.The shrunken head intrigues me, but I don't understand it either. Oh, but we are in agreement that I don't think she ever was married to Teague. Did Teague kill her? Did she somehow bring about her own destruction? How long had it been since Jack had seen her? I also think that there had to be either a falling out or a very long stretch of time where Jack didn't see her for him to not be affected by her death...or at least not show it in front of Teague.
Or...(possibilities are endless with this woman) maybe she'd been dead a while? Is there a chance that Jack asked it to be coy or in knowing that Teague had hidden the body or something only to be surprised by the fact the head had been shrunk? It's such an interesting idea.
What if we could make a game where people assign personality types to the characters in POTC. If you saw
Monster House for Halloween 2006, they have a similar situation to the issue you brought up here. I think this lady was in another world. I was writing about Cho Chang in the Harry Potter Forum, how I thought she seemed a b*** because being an asian character Harry was really hurting her racially himself and she could not take it anymore physically, as that bad feeling you get when you have to leave before it is too late. Yea, I usually just know that/when older people are just stupid s***. Might as well, do not care about them. I mean, there must be something in life everyone is jealous of being.

Ooooooooo I LOVE the idea of Teague killing her!!! Not because I'm a sadist, but because that would be incredibly angsty and intense. hahaha.i DID write a history of Jack's mother, in which I had her freeze to death in a park in london after overdosing on opium after meeting Jack as a young boy for the first time since she actually had him. i tried to tie in a bit about the shrunken head. it didn't make much sense but it was one of the funnest things I've ever written. completely loopy. have you not read it? it is stuck into my other fic somewhere--- the one in which i mess all the characters up. 😄
Willo, you really OUGHT to write a biography. I for one, would LOVE to read it--- it would be fascinating. there are endless, endless things you could write about him--- such a complex character... oh Jack...
I never really liked Teague, which is perhaps why I didn't want to pair him with someone like Elizabeth... Teague struck me as emotionally removed and quite scary... but of course, that could just be my feelings about Richards getting in the way, haha...
I am having problems with writing stories.... I do not like to forget things that bother me. I want to write a story about Jack's parents, now, though, anyway. Oh goody, I can use my account at fanfiction.net, but, maybe, I should find one that does not allow comments or if I change it, there. What am I interested in, now, though: laundry, finishing my room for once in my life. bawling After I achieve this, and onto redoing my wardrobe, I will be able to be normal and have a life and read, again. 😇 (I am still reading the fanfiction, now, though. 😄) I am just beginning to get back to my thing, where I am in the shower, a lot, this week. Of course, being a weakling, I spend a lot of time just walking and to get off aannyy fat. It does not quite blow my brain away, maybe, because I do not have one. I am still catching up on a decade/dozen years of sleep, as well. I while away a lot in music; maybe, I want to be the next A.J. or Girl Authority (Country?,) too. I have missed reading, like, forever. It sounds like everyone on here plows through lots of fanfiction. I read through e-mails to me, if I ever got any, in a, like, split moment, though. I wonder what books I shall read/finish next. Oh boy, I, still, am on Harry Potter 6..... I have music, on, for my ears, to clear them (they have been this way since a certain point, in the dorms, when I quit the music major,) and I have to stop reading, usually, always.
