Talk:Pocahontas (character)/@comment-5014358-20140626040529

I am just gonna say that I love Pocahontas and John Rolfe as a couple, not because of how they are showed in disney and history stuff, but because of the film "The New World" It opened my eyes of how I saw Pocahonta's life and it was very hard to understand her two relationships  between two different men. At first she did fell in love with John Smith, very passionately and because of how he saw her world through her eyes and everything she tought him. But then all the english settlers accused him of wanting to be king of Virginia, Pocahontas was a captive in the english settlement and she renewed her affair with him, but for very little because he felt torn between his duty to his people and his relationship with Pocahontas. So what does he do? He instructs one of his men to tell Pocahontas that within two months he is dead. What a stupid idiotic decision to make! I mean he simply couldn't tell her that he was off exploring a new world? No, he has to lie to her, which makes her suffer a lot besides the fact that her own father disowned her when he discovered her affair with J.S.! Then comes John Rolfe, in the film, he's played to perfection by Christian Bale and is very true to the real life John Rolfe, and I respect both the film and the characters for that. When he came in James Town, he saw how fragile and how much pain Pocahontas has gone trough and slowly allows her to open up to him. Then in time he begins to fall in love with her and asks her hand in marriage. Now by this time Pocahontas is unsure because of the loss of John Smith and of how she feels for John Rolfe, which is only respect. She marries him, they have a beautiful son named Thomas. But she hears news that John S. is still alive and confesses to J.R. that she is married to J.S. in her heart. This clearly makes a strain in the relationship between her and John Rolfe. Anyway, the visit England at King James request and by this time John Rolfe realizes how wrong he was in thinking he could make Pocahontas marrying him in his vanity and tells her this. She understands and asks if she can speak with John Smith who is in England. They meet, but the way the scene captures them is so amazing and true to Pocahontas life, they now realize how much they have changed, and Jonh S. confesses that what they've experienced in her homeland was nothing more than the truth. Pocahontas understands and also agrees, since all that love now slowly disapears between them, and they both go their separate ways, never to meet. She returns to John Rolfe and now realizes how much she truly loves him, and tells him. They remain happy for a short while until Pocahontas falls ill and dies in England.

This is all true to the real life of Pocahontas and is the reason why I love Pocahontas and John Rolfe and always will. To everyone else in the chat, I respect your comments and posts. Everyone has their opinnion and should be respected for that.
