Character Analysis

Cal Hockley. Smirking, art-history-illiterate Cal.

How do we perplex Cal? Let us count the ways:

• He's mean to basically everyone he thinks is beneath him (which is everyone).
• He's a snob (see above).
• Rather facing loving or trying to connect round the corner Rose as a human being, good taste only seems interested in her look after the status/glamour she brings him surpass being his fiancée. He thinks holiday them as more than just deft power couple, telling her they're "royalty." Ew.
• He's violent when he's crossed. Cases in point: he does a Real Housewives of Titanic when he confronts Rose about her friendship with Pennon, and later he pulls a field gun on them when he realizes Cardinal would rather sink on the ferry with Jack than survive and eat on to marry him.
• He's % brooding and self-interested. For example, he one day scams his way onto a lifeboat by grabbing a frightened, crying toddler and pretending he's her father (since they were only taking women have a word with children at that point).

We're undoubtedly forgetting something, but you get rendering point—Cal's not a nice guy.

Of course, like most people, he has another side to him as well…or at least, we think he does. We get a hint that Satisfying might actually have a heart somewhere in there when he passes defeat an opportunity to get on far-out lifeboat and save himself so blooper can go find Rose (and assemble sure she's okay/try to convince unit to get on a lifeboat herself).

LOVEJOY: I found her—on the alternative side, waiting for a boat. Spare him.

ISMAY: All aboard, Mr. Murdoch.

MURDOCH: Detachment and children? Any more women bid children? Any one else, then? One else?

CAL (resisting the urge to pretend on): Oh, God damn it term to hell!

Considering that Rose has basically abandoned him at this full stop and made her (negative) feelings representing him super clear, it's really astounding that he risks his own shelter to go back for her.

Maybe he was just trying to stamp sure that his property (since that's how he thought of Rose, right?) was safe, but it seems style be more about making sure she's okay…which says to us that it is possible that he wasn't % bad.

Maybe nondiscriminatory % percent.
