the man who gave it it?s name. Mr. Ismay brags about naming the ship Titanic to emphasize its greatness at which point Bukater mentions that according to Freud, Mr. Ismay is pre-occupied with size. She of course was referring to Freud?s theory that everything is based on sex, but Mr. Ismay did not know of Freud and was pretty much made a fool of. In another scene, Bukater and Dawson are getting to know each other after he saved her life. Bukater realizes what a carefree life Dawson leads and becomes a bit envious. They speak of getting together once they?re in America and the things that they might do together. One thing that Dawson says he?s going to teach Bukater to do is ride horse back, not side saddle but one leg on each side which once again was not typical for that time.

We later see pictures of Bukater on a horse, riding like a man, just as she had promised Dawson. In the same scene, Dawson wants to teach Bukater how to spit. Dawson says that Bukater?s first try is pitiful and he shows her how to do it the way a man would do it. While practicing her manly spitting over the side of the ship, Bukater?s mother catches her in the act and scolds her. In the end of the movie, this spitting technique is used to its full potential when Bukater spits right into her fianc?e?s face. Another interesting scene is when Dawson invites Bukater to meet him at the clock so that they can go to a party with the third class passengers. Bukater accepts the invitation without informing her fianc?e. At this party, Bukater dances the night away and consumes quite a bit

of alcohol. At one point Dawson and Bukater pick up equally full glasses of beer and in one shot Bukater nearly finishes it while Dawson drinks a mere quarter of it. Heavy drinking is not something that women, especially wealthy women, did. The most revealing of all scenes was the scene where Bukater allows herself to be sketched by Dawson wearing nothing but the diamond that her fianc?e had given to her. Wearing only the necklace was her idea, she says that she has enough portraits of herself looking like a porcelain doll. Not many women do this in 1998, in 1912 her fianc?e called her a prostitute for posing the way she did. In the end of Titanic, Bukater breaks away from several more stereotypes. She proves to be courageous and willing to give everything up for love. While

being pressured to marry into the society, Bukater fell in love with Dawson and had a strong bond with him. When the ship was sinking and she had a chance to save herself, she almost killed herself jumping out of the lifeboat to be with her soul mate. After the sinking, when the lifeboat came back to rescue any survivors and Bukater realized that Dawson was dead, she gathered up enough inner strength to save herself. She was one of the mere six people who were rescued from the icy waters by the single lifeboat that came back. A ship called the Carpathia then rescued the survivors and class once again separated them. Bukater had an opportunity to get everything she had at the beginning of the trip back. Her now ex-fianc?e came looking for her but she hid from him and when one of

the officers on the ship was taking names as they neared New York City, Bukater said that her name was Rose Dawson. Simply by giving a different name, she was able to change the course of her life. Following a gut feeling that starting a new life would bring happiness, she went on to be an actress. She married, had children, and even grandchildren. Best of all, as Rose Dawson, she was able to do all of the things that she and Jack Dawson spoke about.
