Been saying this for years now. Total sociopath. Leads a double life and hides the truth from her family. How many jobs did her husband work while she had that rock? Did he die of working too hard? Granddaughter has student loans.

But could she realistically have sold it? It's not like could just bring it to a pawn dealer - she'd have to bring it to specialists and it would have made headlines. The rich guy or his family would have said she stole it.

Pretty sure there's a whole world of selling things in secret that we'll never hear about.

I'm sure you're right, like for stolen artifacts. But you'd have to find the people who moved in those circles. I'm thinking of this case where a woman inherited a painting from her mother and tried to sell it. Turned out her mom stole it from a museum and they took it back.

The heart of the ocean works as a symbol imo because it was too precious. It was the reason Rose's fiance was physically trying to catch her as the ship was sinking. But it wasn't hers by choice. When she tried to leave her fiance it found its way back to her in his coat pocket.

So it's the reason she matters to everyone else, the reason she won't be forgotten, but it's useless to her. Just a sparkly thing she has that if she ever shows it to anyone they'll make her give it up. Keeping it a secret that people want her to tell is how she'll be remembered.

Then the last scene kind of ruins it by giving up the secret. Now everyone knows, it's not hers anymore, and what was the point of listening to her life story? She was no one special at the end, and we knew it.

I think that's why the theatrical version keeps it a secret from the other characters all the way up to the end, it's her final victory against the world I'm not saying it doesn't work dramatically, it's just so *melo*dramatic, like it's not possible to not get a little mad

It so encapsulates her! Her mother was thinking, "Rose, you were going to marry a millionaire, how could you throw that away?" Her finance was thinking, "You were a perfect bride, how could you throw your virtue away on that third-deck scribbler? You'll never get it back!"

Yeah, and not necessarily in a healthy or good way. She could have dealt with that rock in a hundred different other ways that would have benefited so many people including herself.
