Titanic truly was the strangest fan-fic softcore porn ever...
Naw it’s a sweet love story with a standard loss ending.
Rose's motivations are primarily driven by her desire for freedom and independence. She feels trapped by her wealthy but oppressive family and her engagement to the controlling and wealthy Caledon.
She’s looking for a way to escape her life and find her own identity. This leads her to a deep emotional connection with Jack. Her motivations are centered on breaking free from the constraints of her upper-class background and pursuing a life of her own choosing, which ultimately culminates in her decisions and actions throughout the film. He represents everything she’s yearned for.
Plus he’s really hot, so that helps.
How dare you combat my dismissive humor with well-said, thoughtful arguments!
I'm gonna upvote your comment, but while I do, I'm gonna be thinking about the words you said and how I've also allowed a misogynistic bias cause me to overlook Rose as the three-dimensional character that she is and it's all your fault!
