Titanic: Rose deWitt Bukater [ISFP]
OFFICIAL TYPING by Charity / the Mod
Functional Order: Fi-Se-Ni-Fe
Judging Functional Axis:
Introverted Feeling (Fi) / Extroverted Thinking (Te)
Rose is at war with fulfilling her own needs and those of other people; even though she is going along with her mother’s scheme to marry her off to a wealthy man, Rose is deeply unhappy about it, and refuses to show Cal any affection or fake emotions that she does not feel. Her mother complains that Rose is doing small things that Ruth “loathes” to get back at her – in reality, she is asserting her independence however way she can (“Rose chose lavender… she knows I detest lavender”). Rose is a deep well of emotion. She never says a word about how she is feeling, even though she is bitterly unhappy. Her own emotions are so intense that they drive her to try to commit suicide. Rose never talks about her feelings in the moment, only the circumstances around them, and only opens up about them 80+ years later. Once the floodgates open, Rose begins aggressively asserting herself. She starts doing what she wants to do, whether or not others like it. She over-emphasizes her emotions (“It doesn’t make any sense; that’s why I trust it”). She never told her husband about Jack, or the impact he had on her life. When we first meet Rose, despite her unhappiness, she is making purely logical, factually-oriented decisions – she is willing to marry a man she does not love for financial stability, because it is the sensible thing to do. She has no problem issuing orders, asserting herself, correcting others, or in stating her opinions. Later in life, she becomes decisive and takes the logical way out of her bad situation by faking her own death and changing her name, taking opportunity of the disaster in front of her (Te).
Perceiving Functional Axis:
Extroverted Sensing (Se) / Introverted Intuition (Ni)
She sees chances to act and leaps on them, happily engaging her body in the external environment. Rose nearly jumps off the back of the ship. She thinks quickly to fool Cal about what she was doing there. She eagerly participates in “a real party” downstairs, where she dances, performs ballet moves, and drinks beer. Rose poses nude for Jack, excited at having a portrait that is “her true self, not a doll.” She sleeps with him in the back of an automobile. Rose is excited about the thought of everything she and Jack can do once they reach the mainland; she wants it to be more than a dream – and she makes it so, going on in her life to do a great many other things (actress, pilot, etc). She abandons her old life without a second thought. During the disaster, she’s observant of her environment, improvising with whatever she has to get Jack out of trouble (breaking down doors, using furniture and firemen’s axes when she cannot find keys, etc). She has an intellectual streak, which makes her a bit of an art snob (“It has truth but no logic”). When Jack questions her as to how she knew he is innocent of Cal’s charges, Rose replies, “I just know.” She instinctively knows she is meant to be with him, and plans far enough ahead to say she’s getting off the boat with him. Rose’s foresight leads her to think about the number of passengers and the lifeboats, but she does not rely so heavily on it that she thinks through all the consequences of her decisions (she somewhat naively underestimates the power Cal wields on board ship). Rose’s unwillingness to give Cal even a chance to “open her heart” shows she senses something in him that she doesn’t like from the start. When giving her fake name to the list-maker, Rose shows a willingness to believe that she can make her own future and stick to it.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Values: cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition.
Rose values her own intelligence but unlike a Ravenclaw, is willing to play the game and demean her own intellect to conceal the truth (she pretends to be simple, to persuade Cal into believing her story about the propellers). She was almost willing to marry a man without love, for security and to please her mother, but once broken out of that situation showed a strong drive to fulfill her own desires and move up in the world (acting, airplane flying, etc).
Enneagram: 4w3 so/sx
Tritype: 497 The Gentle Spirit [4w3 9w1 7w6]
Rose has a tendency to dramatize things and wallow in her feelings – she likens the beautiful TITANIC, in hindsight, to a slave ship carrying her home in chains. She waxes melodramatic about her life. She focuses on what’s missing and the negative. She also pushes Cal away out of her contempt for him, and only charms him when necessary to keep the peace (9 fix). She finds small ways to assert her superior taste and intellect (”The difference between Cal’s taste in art and mine is I have some”). She seems to be waiting to be rescued. And arguably, her desperate need to be with Jack in an intense situation could be her moving to 2 disintegration and pursuing a love connection at all costs. Her 9 fix has a strong hold – wanting to keep the peace with her mother, resisting expressing her anger until pushed almost beyond what she can stand, and falling back on 1ish arguments (it’s not polite, proper, etc) to avoid conflict. Her 7 fix makes her impulsive and happiest when seeking new adventures; it does not take much for Jack to open her up to exploring new things. As an so/sx, she focuses on being socially appropriate, until she forges a true deep romantic bond with Jack, then throws caution to the wind.

Titanic - Growth & Gain
In any good script the protagonist grows in some way throughout the story, rising up to face the challenges that the plot places before him or her. In Titanic, Rose doesn’t simply grow, she significantly transforms in a metamorphosis of her life’s direction and purpose. Her transformation is written seamlessly into the rising action of the ship’s perilous sinking, and her star-crossed love affair, and yet it manages to hold its own as a major story line in the film.
Visual Metamorphosis
To tell the tale of Rose’s metamorphosis in tandem with the other two major plot-lines, Cameron opts to narrate this storyline predominantly with symbolism. As the other two plot-lines progress, Rose has visually and symbolically shed her chrysalis. Subtle choices to have Rose remove gloves, shoes, her engagement ring, and finally take off everything serve to illustrate this plot-line. It is no coincidence that Rose’s choice to be with Jack and to create a new life for herself is visually accompanied by the symbolic image of her flying on the bow of the ship.
First Flight
Rose soars through the painted-pink sky with the support of her lover behind her. Obviously the movie doesn’t end here signaling to viewers that neither has her journey or growth. They key detail in the flying scene is that Jack is physically and symbolically supporting her as she takes her first flight. Even after emerging from its chrysalis, a butterfly’s wings are not yet strong enough for flight. The wings are small and must be exercised in order to develop to their full size. Similarly, Rose must face many challenges to exercise her own growth, both with and without Jack.
A Porcelain Doll becomes an Action Heroine
We see her wingspan exercised throughout the sinking. Beginning when Jack is handcuffed below decks and she must stand up to her mother and Cal before rescuing him, Rose embarks on discovering the depths of her independence. The image of a reserved porcelain doll styling the overwhelming, violet, hat fades from our minds. A fiery-haired heroine emerges sans her doll-like wardrobe in exchange for matted hair and an ax. Disheveled, but as ever determined, she races through Titanic’s sinking corridors like an obstacle course to rescue her love. As a butterfly works to expand the size of its wings, Rose works against the sinking ship and her increasingly threatening fiancé to ensure her survival.
A Butterfly is Born
Although her jump from the lifeboat back onto the ship serves as one of the highest plot points for Jack and Rose’s love, its a sign that she is still not ready to take flight (endure the sinking) without Jack. It’s not until she has no other choice that her wings expand fully. When Jack dies, Rose lays her head down next to him, presumably contemplating her own death. However, surrendering to death would take our protagonist back to the beginning, back to when she attempted her own suicide. But now Rose makes the hardest choice she has had to make yet: choosing to live now that Jack is dead. She has lost a life of comfort, and she has lost a life with love, embodied in Jack. Yet, she chooses to open her eyes and live.
It would not be true metamorphosis without a total loss of one life in exchange for a completely new one. In so, Rose has the most transformative growth any protagonist could possibly have when she goes from attempting suicide to escape a life of comfort, to fighting for her life when she has lost everything, including her biggest source of love and support. Alas, an entirely new woman stands before us on the Carpathia. Liberated from her old life, Rose emerges into New York a new woman, ahead of her: a new life.

Everybody expects me to be this delicate little flower which I’m not. I’m sturdy. I’m strong as a horse. I’m here to do something not just sit around and be decorative.

I’m going to dye my hair red like Rose, speak softly like Daisy and wear angel wings like Juliet.
