Was Jack fridged for Rose? Ultimately, his main purpose is to show her that she can do what she wants: break out of her sheltered little world and live her own life by her own merits. That accomplished, he dies, and Rose moves on to a more fulfilling life, and other men.
How horrible is it that I laughed at this?
I guess he was! But I'd like to add the caveat that I don't think it should be referred to as a "Fridging" unless it's done in poor taste.
It also pisses me off that they're writing off women like that. What, like women wouldn't KNOW what they liked about the fucking movie?!
