romantic sentiments contained in the movie versions of the sinking.
Instead he entwines several themes such as fate, marriage, chiaroscuro,
Divine Will and vanity, into his work.
Hardy interprets the Titanic hitting the iceberg as two soulmates
finally finding each other- a joyous event of marriage and consummation.
