“Titanic” Is Actually a Lesson About Fierce, Non-Conforming Women — and Privilege

Anne T. Donahue
Dec 23, 2017

Upon its release in December 1997, Titanic was hailed for its special effects, its actors (Kate Winslet and the late Gloria Stuart both picked up Oscar nominations), and for a love story that rivaled Romeo and Juliet’s in terms of tragedy — not to mention an ongoing debate over whether there was room for two on the wardrobe door that floated Rose to safety. It spawned a song that topped the charts and soundtracked our school dances, and made lines like “You jump, I jump” seem like totally understandable things to say to someone you had a crush on. But a deeper look at Titanic gives us something much more: a movie about non-conforming women… and the privilege of being able to buck expectations.

To start, our protagonist Rose Dewitt-Bukator doesn’t fit in. At 17, she’s unhappy in her engagement, she feels trapped in a world she doesn’t relate to, and she prioritizes art over diamonds (which is controversial for 1912). She also says what she thinks: At breakfast one morning we see her liken the White Star Line’s managing director Bruce Ismay’s beliefs on size to Freudian theory, which follows Rose’s (super-rude) move of blowing forbidden cigarette smoke in her mother’s face. Even when Jack tries to talk her out of jumping ship, she makes time to sass him for his assumption that she doesn’t know what ice fishing is. So in short, Rose is a teen rebel — and the entire film hinges on that.

Which, when juxtaposed atop the way teens rebel now, seems pretty tame, I know. When I was a teen, my young rebellion hinged on drinking vodka coolers in fast food parking lots — or worse (and more illegally), taking friends’ parents’ cars out without licenses or permission. But rebellion wasn’t as extreme in 1912. And for a young woman like Rose, complacency was crucial to maintaining a now obsolete and fast-fading class system. Rose’s only job — as a 17-year-old girl — was to get married to a rich, established man which would help keep her family’s name atop society hierarchy. She was to obey her mother and her future husband, and to do so pleasantly and without protest. This meant that back-talk connoted disrespect, and dragging a man of status (like Ismay) over his “preoccupation with size” would’ve been appalling. In 1912, a woman’s place was in the sitting room, sitting silently. Especially since then many were being beaten and imprisoned for merely wanting to vote. To maintain one’s reputation as a pious, chaste, and dutiful woman was social currency.

And that means that when Rose risks her own reputation (by talking back, by ignoring the commands of her mother and fiance, and eventually by posing nude for a sketch and having sex in the back of a car with a man she’s not married to), she’s risking her entire future. She’s taking the chance that no man will have her and she’ll be left unmarried, shamed, and even destitute. So that means that to push back against social norms, familial obligations, and the place of women in her socioeconomic realm makes her not just a rebel, but a badass one.

And of course, without stakes that high, we wouldn’t have had much of a movie. Because Titanic, while a love story anchored in a disaster film, is one built entirely around Rose’s revelation that forging one’s own path is the key to freedom. Even if it means risking your future once you step off the boat.

Thankfully, she didn’t have to do it alone.

As much as Titanic zeroes in on non-conformity, it also romanticizes the freedom that comes with not being a concrete part of the one percent. Molly Brown is disliked by her first-class peers for being “new money,” but she’s established as a hero by us (and anyone awesome) for being loud, friendly, funny, and willing to lend Jack a suit so he can avoid embarrassment at dinner. Meanwhile, Jack is a drifter; an artist who wins his Titanic ticket in a poker hand with no concrete plans for the future. He’s whimsical, he’s romantic, he’s the premiere Manic Pixie Dream Boy. And then there’s everybody we meet in Third Class in the movie’s first act: They’re interesting, they’re dancing, they’re fighting, they’re human. They, from Rose’s perspective, are free from living in a way they don’t want to. They, arguably, are free.

But of course, we know they’re not. It’s Molly’s first-class privilege that secures her a spot in a lifeboat among the peers she’s consistently shafted by, while it’s their placement at the bottom of the ship’s class pyramid that leads to the deaths of literally every third class passenger we meet. Which means that non-conformity is a luxury and only a specific type will lead you to happiness. Non-conformity, if a choice, is exciting and daring. Non-conformity, if rooted in one’s placement outside first-class reality, isn’t non-conformity at all: It’s simply being alive.

After all, none of the third class passengers are actively pushing back against the existing system. Unlike first-class passengers (who used Titanic as a fancy means of transportation), they’ve used their life savings to set sail for a new life. Their parties aren’t a novelty; they’re the primary means of socializing. Like Jack, some may be “free” to draw for a living or to move from place to place, but that lifestyle is in exchange for stability, for regular meals, for shelter, for clean clothes. Their refusal to conform to the first-class status quo isn’t actually a refusal at all — it’s an inability. How can you rebel against a system that you were never a part of?

Arguably through Rose and Molly, we learn that while non-conformity is admirable, it’s a luxury available only to the privileged. Rose may have seen Jack as the 1912 incarnation of James Dean, but the only time he’s awarded the chance to push back against particular norms, they are Rose’s norms: He doesn’t fit in at the first-class dinner, and is gawked at and celebrated like an entertainer. So again, to Rose and her social circle, Jack is a rebel, actively going against what is normal and “right.” Jack, however, is just living his life.

Which means that when Rose breaks from her existing mold, she’s out for an entirely new reality. After being told not to see Jack again, she seeks him out on the ship deck and, after eventually having sex in a Rolls Royce (nice), the two decide to run away together. And, throughout the rest of the movie, she chooses him twice more — once, after he’s locked up for (fake) theft and again when she leaps from a lifeboat to endure the sinking by his side. And even after the sinking, she commits to her rebrand: She changes her name, she becomes an actor, and she embarks on a life she’s completely in charge of.

Plus, she doesn’t actually speak of the event that sparked this change until the day before she dies.

But that’s the thing: Rose had the choice; she had the privilege. To her, non-conformity meant the ability to flee and start anew. To everyone else, it came with risks. For Molly, it meant nearly being kicked out of a lifeboat. For the characters we met in third class, it meant being excluded from safety measures that would’ve heightened their chances for survival. And for Jack? It meant meeting a girl on a boat that didn’t even end up sharing that godforsaken wardrobe door.

What do you think of Titanic’s non-conformity angle? Tell us @BritandCo!

And Zendaya also showed up to the 2025 Golden Globes rocking a new ring on THAT finger. These two keep their relationship pretty private, so here's the latest news on it.

July 13, 2017 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Are Reportedly Dating

In July 2017, a source seemingly confirmed what many fans had been wondering for months: that Tom Holland and Zendaya had been dating. Considering the two other sets of Spider-Man leads (Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield) both dated, it felt like this was one relationship that was bound to happen.

"They started seeing each other while they were filming Spider-Man," the insider tells People. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

"They're both really ambitious and they challenge each other — but, most importantly, they make each other crack up," says another insider. "They seem to have a really similar sense of humor and love joking around together."

Tom Holland and Zendaya actually took to Twitter (now X) to tackle the rumors. "Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years!" Zendaya says, to which Tomreplies, "Does the press tour count[?]"

November 17, 2021 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Open Up About Their Relationship

In an interview with GQ, Tom Holland opened up about his relationship with Zendaya and how their relationship to fame has impacted everything. "One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he says of their July 2 kiss. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway...We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”

“It was quite strange and weird and confusing and invasive,” Zendaya agrees. “I think loving someone is a sacred thing and a special thing and something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy amongst the two people that love each other."

“Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Tom later told The Hollywood Reporter. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers.”

"I love those movies, and I love savoring those moments, so I try not to watch them as often as I would maybe like to because it’s so special.

The London premiere of Dune 2 was very eventful. Zendaya basically broke the internet by wearing a Mugler "Machinenmensch" robot suit (before changing into this chic black dress from Mugler by Casey Cadwallader), a certain actress spoiled her appearance in the movie by showing up to the carpet, and Tom Holland and Zendaya were spotted at the afterparty together. I love the care and attention Tom shows Zendaya (I, too, would be overwhelmed if I was surrounded by paparazzi like in this video of the couple), and I hope they got to unwind after a crazy night!

"Everybody's kind of got their own [rizz]," she tells Buzzfeed. "I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but...it works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland."

"I'm more shy and kind of quiet, so it takes a little bit more to pull me out of my shell but he's great at just talking to people and getting to know people," she continues. "He's just naturally very good at that. Or as for me, I've definitely had to pull it out of me a little bit. He's got that natural gift."

March 17, 2024 — Tom Holland And Zendaya Watch A Tennis Game

Ahead of Zendaya's spring movie Challengers (in which she plays a tennis pro-turned-coach opposite Mike Faist and Josh O'Connor), she watched the BNP Paribas Open Men's Final at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Alongside Tom Holland and her assistant Darnell Appling, who she frequently calls her brother, Zendaya got comfy in a cream-colored tennis skirt, tank top, and zip-up hoodie ensemble. Spring really is here!! My favorite part of the afternoon is when Tom Holland and Zendaya sang along with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody."

April 9, 2024 — Zendaya Raves About Tom Holland

In her Vogue cover story for May 2024, Zendaya talks a lot about how fame has affected both her life and Tom Holland's. “His [career] changed overnight. One day you’re a kid and you’re at the pub with your friends, and then the next day you’re Spider-Man,” she says. “I definitely watched his life kind of change in front of him. But he handled it really beautifully.”

That star power was evident in 2022, when Tom Holland and Zendaya spent the afternoon at the Louvre in Paris...and almost broke the internet. “You just kind of get used to the fact that, 'Oh, I’m also one of these art pieces you’re going to take a picture of. I just gotta be totally cool with it and just live my life,'" Zendaya continues. (She also says that when the museum let them walk around after-hours, "it was like Night at the Museum.”)

This spring, Zendaya can't wait to see Tom Holland in his London production of Romeo & Juliet: "[I] could not be more proud. I’m going to try to see as many shows as I possibly can.”

April 10, 2024 — Challengers Premieres In London

Tom Holland showed up for the London premiere of Challengers, and got to support Zendaya in the sweetest way. In this video captured at the premiere, you can see Tom and Z share a hug and a kiss on the cheek during the evening. Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot during a busy night, and I love how in sync Tom Holland and Zendaya are!

The latest viral clip about Tom Holland and Zendaya also has to do with Challengers. During another Challengers press tour stop, Zendaya's overjoyed to be presented with a bouquet of gardenias. “These are my favorite flowers!” she exclaims. When asked if Tom Holland buys her flowers, she points at the camera and jokes, “I hope he's watching!”

While not every girlfriend necessarily wants a bouquet, every couple definitely has to figure out each other's love languages so they can get to know each other better — and apparently A-listers are the exact same!

August 31, 2024 — Zendaya And Tom Holland Match On A Day Date

After a summer starring in Romeo and Juliet, Tom Holland took a late-summer stroll with Zendaya in Calabasas, California.

October 15, 2024 — Tom Holland Launches A New Company With Unexpected Help From Zendaya

After going sober in 2022, Tom Holland announced on October 15 he was launching a non-alcoholic drink company called Bero. “When I got sober, I started exploring the world of non-alcoholic beers and realized there was space for me to fit in,” Tom says in an interview with Forbes. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier.”

“Zendaya hates beer, like, absolutely hates beer," he continues. And when she helped with the taste testing, a joke helped guide the overall brand. "She does not drink beer at all, and the first round of testing she was like, ‘Wow, these are really tasty’, and I was like, ‘Well, that's probably not a good sign.'"

And at the launch event for Bero in New York City, Tom and Zendaya wore matching shades of burgundy! Z stunned in a floor-length leather dress while Tom paired a short sleeve sweater with black trousers.

October 15, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Why She'd Never Take A Dance Class With Tom Holland

While speaking to Teen Vogue for her partnership with On, Zendaya reveals she'd probably avoid dance classes with Tom Holland because "he's too good, it would piss me off," she jokes. "I would want to take someone who could be equally as bad as me."

"Kayaking, I would choose Tom because I think that, if I can remember correctly, with the kayak, you have to be in sync with the person," she continues. "And I think it would be hilarious because we are both very controlling and we both want to be in charge. So it would be funny to watch us be like, no, we're going to go this way. No, we're going to go that way. And I think it would be a good story after the fact."

October 31, 2024 — Tom Holland Reveals Googling Zendaya Eases His Anxiety

While appearing on an episode of Samah Dada’s On the Menu podcast, Tom Holland spoke about how protective he gets over Zendaya, which, if you ask me, is pretty clear after that viral video of her getting swarmed by paparazzi — and him physically getting in the middle.

“I’m not on socials, and I delete [the apps] when I’m not using [them],” he tells Samah. “So sometimes I — it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing...I just give it a little Google, look [through] the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.'"

November 13, 2024 — Zendaya Reveals Working With Tom Holland Is "Like Second Nature"

In Vanity Fair's new Hollywood 2025 issue, Zendaya opened up on what it's like to work with her partner, and reveals "it’s actually strangely comfortable."

"It’s like second nature, if anything," she says. "You feel extra safe with the person you’re acting beside. I love working with him. He’s so talented, and so passionate about what he does. He always gives things one thousand percent, even if he’s absolutely worn down. I really appreciate that about him. It feels pretty normal. That’s how we met. Literally, at a chemistry read."

I'm sure that was one heck of a chemistry read!

November 24, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Have A Cozy Date Night

Tom and Zendaya went out for a pint to wrap up the weekend, heading to Foxhole to sample Bero "in the wild," according to Tom himself (via Instagram stories). And the actor ended up sharing a super cute photo of Zendaya in a red top with a gold necklace, a menu, and her cell phone covered in a grippy phone mount that a lot of TikTokers use to attach their phones to the wall. Does this mean there's a backlog of Zendaya TikToks?!

One People sourcealso reports the couple was "very relaxed and very chatty together" at Trident Booksellers & Cafe in Boston during a Friday morning breakfast. Sweet!

December 2, 2024 — Tom Holland & Zendaya Are Reportedly Ready To Settle Down

We all know that Tom and Zendaya are homebodies, and it appears they're only getting cozier the farther they get into their relationship — especially as friends like Robert Pattinson start their own families! “As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on,” a source tells Life & Style. "If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward."

“For Tom’s part, he’s seen up close how settling down, getting serious and having kids has changed Rob,” they continue. “Tom wants that life for himself and Zendaya, sooner rather than later.”

If Tom and Zendaya really are planning on getting married, and Robert Pattinson ends up in the wedding, I'll cry! And I just know Zendaya's wedding dress is going to be THE look of the decade.

8 Burning Questions '1923' Season 2 NEEDS To Answer

I am SO GLAD 1923 season 2 is on its way because there's no way I'd be able to focus on anything except that 1923 season 1 ending if it got cancelled. With so much danger, our favorite characters scattered to the wind, and the fate of the Dutton ranch hanging in the balance, I have so many questions and I'm hoping the first few episodes of this February TV show answer them, like, ASAP.

Here are 8 questions 1923 season 2 definitely needs to answer when it premieres February 23 on Paramount+.

1. When are Teonna and the Duttons going to meet?

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

I'm starting out with my most-important question because it's all I can think about. I want Teonna to meet Cara, Jacob, Spencer, and the rest of the gang! I could totally see Alex getting to Montana and Teonna, her dad, and Pete helping Alex make it to Bozeman...let's make it happen Taylor Sheridan!

2. How is Alex getting to Montana?

Lo Smith/Paramount+

Speaking of Alex, how the heck is she getting to Montana, let alone the specific town she told Spencer to meet her in. Traveling in 1923 is definitely more difficult than traveling now (especially as a woman) but if anybody's able to traverse the American countryside on their own, it's her. She just has to get off the boat first.

3. Will Arthur's death have any more consequences for Spencer?

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

1923 fans will remember the reason Alex and Spencer are split in the first place is because after dueling with Alex's ex Arthur, Spencer throws him off the ship in self defense...and then is kicked off himself. Does he have his stuff? Will he have any guilt that his actions led to Alex being on her own? Is he traveling the country in a tux? Only time will tell.

4. Can we please do something about Father Renaud?

Lo Smith/Paramount+

I hate this man. He's slimy, he's headmaster at Teonna's abusive Catholic boarding school, and he simultaneously makes me boil with rage and shudder in horror. After the events of season 1, he's hunting Teonna and I hope he NEVER catches her. Maybe Spencer can duel this guy next.

5. What's going to happen to the Dutton ranch?

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

Considering Yellowstone exists, we know the Dutton ranch stays in the family — despite the fact Whitfield reveals the ranch defaults to him unless the Duttons can pay up. So I guess either Jacob and Cara work it out before it's too late, or one of their descendants gets it back?

6. Will Elizabeth and Jack start a family?

Christopher Saunders/Paramount+

Season 1 ended with the heartbreaking realization that Elizabeth had miscarried her first child. There was a beautiful moment between Cara and Elizabeth as the older woman offered some comfort, but my heart still just aches for her. Whether Elizabeth ends up giving birth in season 2, or her and Jack adopt, I can't wait to see what the future looks like for these two should they want start a family.

7. ARE ZANE AND ALICE GOING TO BE OKAY?

Trae Patton/Paramount+

I need these two (who were attacked and separated for miscegenation) to be featured in the first 10 minutes of 1923 season 2 — hopefully together, with their children, and happy. Can we make that happen Paramount?

8. How will Jacob and Cara take down Banner?

Lo Smith/Paramount+

Banner's been after Jacob and Cara — and their land — and despite the fact he almost successfully kills Jacob, I just refuse to believe our Dutton patriarch could be defeated by a man like that. (And not just because Jacob's played by Harrison Ford).

Here are all the trending interior design styles you need to know for 2025!

Audra Kiewiet de Jonge Art & Interiors

Biophilic

If your home feels like a tranquil, nature-infused retreat like this Richmond, VA home of artist and designer Audra Kiewiet de Jonge, you're leaning into biophilic design. This design style is filled with organic shapes, lush greenery, and natural materials to create a serene sanctuary. A natural indoor-outdoor flow is also something you'll covet in this design style.

Simon Brown / Natalia Miyar

Tailored

Like a tailored suit, these rooms pay attention to the finer details. Freund says its unfussy and clutter-free and incorporates luxury elements like stone and leather. Designer Natalia Miyar designed this tailored London penthouse that's featured in Defining Style.

Ben Richards / Naoki Terada

Modernist

If you favor simplicity, functionality, and clean lines, this design style rooted in the early 20th century is your core aesthetic. Modernism emphasizes open spaces, minimal ornamentation, and the use of modern materials like steel, glass, and concrete. Form follows function, with a focus on practicality but also really great design. Here is an example in Defining Style from designer Naoki Terada's Tokyo, Japan home.

Anson Smart / Greg Natale

Coastal

Organic materials inspired by seaside living delivers an elevated coastal decor. This Sydney, Australia home designed by Greg Natale embraces the views of the sea with rich textures and neutral decor with splashes of organic elements.

Jason Schmidt / GRT Architects

Textured

I'm in love with this former Harlem rectory designed by GRT Architects. The layers of textures from leather to wool to wood and glossy surfaces defines this design style and delivers a truly sensory experience.

Monochrome

If there is a single hue you fully embrace in a room or your entire home, monochrome is the definition of your design style. It's bold and unapologetic. This family villa in Amsterdam was designed by Atelier ND Interior in the perfect pink hue.

Gonzalo Machado / Casa Muñoz

Contemporary

Freund describes this aesthetic as a "melting pot" that blends elements from the past with trendy pieces, colors, and materials. Casa Muñoz, the Madrid-based apartment of Spanish supermodel Eugenia Silva, was designed by wife-and-husband team Mafalda Muñoz and Gonzalo Machado with this aesthetic in mind.

Tropical

Climate plays a crucial role in design, especially in tropical regions, where homes must be thoughtfully designed to adapt to and limit its effects. Covered porches, concrete and tile flooring, and an invisible line between indoors and out define this decor style. Anita Calero makes it look effortlessly elegant in this Colombia home.

Mike Karlsson Lundgren / Cappelen Dimyr

Rustic

Rustic is about being ok with the imperfections and embracing natural beauty with raw, organic elements like weathered wood, stone, and earthy tones. It celebrates a cozy, lived-in feel, a place you can kick up your heels and just chill. It also has a Scandi vibe as in this Maja Dixdotter-designed Swedish country home.

Eric Piasecki

Deco Inspired

You may have elements of the Art Deco aesthetic in your space as it has a timeless elegance to it with sleek lines, luxe materials, and geometric patterns. Freund describes it as the most glamorous design style of the 20th century that's also rooted in modern design principles. This quintessential Art Deco apartment in Chicago was designed by Steven Gambrel.

Martin Morrell / Aldridge & Supple

Mountain

This design style is all about woodsy charm with exposed wood beams, stone fireplaces, and cozy textures like sheepskin and wool. Surrounded by breathtaking views, mountain homes like this farmhouse in the U.K. designed by Aldridge & Supple feel like a total escape.

Joachim Wichmann

Neutral

If you prefer aQuiet Luxury aesthetic, this design style is your preferred taste. With neutral tones, everything from furniture form to luxe and textured materials become the stars of the show. This Milan palazzo designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis is neutral but not at all understated.

Romulo Fialdini / Sig Bergamin

Maximal

Maximalist design celebrates creativity and individuality with vibrant colors, bold patterns, and layered textures. If you can't commit to a style this is a design style for you. It mixes eras with eclectic decor to create a visually dynamic space. This is the maximal São Paulo, Brazil home of designer Sig Bergamin.

Paul Massey / VSP Interiors

Timeless

Stemming from a neoclassical style, timeless design styles look to "balance, symmetry, and proportion," says Freund. It's a refined look with decorative details, as illustrated in this family home in the U.K designed by VSP Interiors.
