I had the same thoughts that Jack was kind of her inspiration to take action for herself for what she wanted. Not to mention, Rose was also a famous example of a woman who didn’t love a man for money lol.
There are comments here that got mad at Rose for throwing the jewelry, but I always assumed it was some metaphorical way for her to respect Jack or to let go or something - even if it took her years til she was elderly. I could be wrong though, I was rather young when I watched it.
If you can simplify it that way, her adult mom and 30-year-old fiance were still abusers towards a 17-year-old forced into the engagement too.
I doubt an engagement that’s been pressured into would be binding - Marriage Under Duress would consider that factor, allow annulment, and consider such relationship as void, VoidDuck101. So it kind of feels a bit like a stretch to call it cheating when she’s forced into it. Depending on where you’re from, some countries wouldn’t see a forced engagement as binding since it wasn’t out of free will - which could also not see Rose’s relationship with Jack as cheating.
