Many parents try to be more controlling than they need to be. For some parents, I think they try and be controlling so they can continue to be a part of their children’s lives after they leave. But, parents also believe they are pointing their children in the right direction, when they are only thinking of themselves. In the movie Titanic, Rose Bukater (Dawson) is engaged to a man named Cal Hockley and Cal is very rich and important. Rose’s mother loves the fact that Rose is going to be marrying into a wealthy family. But, when Rose meets Jack Dawson on Titanic, her mother disapproves. She tries to push the marriage to Cal on Rose because she believes it would be the smart thing to do. Rose’s mother believes this because if Rose marries rich, she will not have to worry about anything ever again; it did not matter if Rose loved Cal or not. This, I believe, relates to the way Nora’s dad passed Nora on to Torvald. Nora explains how her father used to treat her like a doll and pretend that she was just something to play with. But, when it was time for Nora to marry, her father just passed her off to the next man suited to take care of her like she was just an object. To me, it seemed like her father thought it was the smartest and easiest way for Nora to get by in life, even if she never really loved her. Maybe Nora’s father believed Nora could learn to love Torvald, or that it was not even important to consider how Nora would feel.
At 1:40, Rose’s mother says something to her about fiancée. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCy5WQ9S4c0
