The Depth of the Heart of the Ocean .
"Ahh, open your heart to me, Rose," pleads Caledon Hockley of the young Rose.
in James Cameron's recent film, Titanic, just after he gives her a most expensive .
diamond. The actor Billy Zane plays Hockley as a callous, jaded, been-there-done-.
that sophisticate who seems to want her heart simply because he believes it is for sale .
and he has a right to it. His blindness to higher motives in love totally disqualifies him .
from being worthy of Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Kate Winslet. But perhaps it is .
also the opaque nature of love itself that defeats him. This scene between Hockley and .
Rose is one of several ways in which Cameron develops the idea of the closed heart .
and the effort to open it. The profound ocean, the massive ship, and the impenetrable .
gem are elements of the setting that parallel and reinforce each other and Cameron's .
theme. Throughout the plot, they are all alike unfathomable, indomitable, yielding to the .
mastery of no mere mortal. As such, they capture the image of a person's heart being .
opaque, not easy to read or see through. The midnight blue color throughout suggests .
that the heart of love is as profound, deep and moving as the ocean itself. The gem .
drives the plot, then, and serves as the central symbol carrying the message. .
