This is going to be all me talking out of my ass, but it was a thought, anyway: It's the world that links them to Elizabeth! Or the clothing hearkening back to the world linking them to Elizabeth:
- Will's entire wedding ensemble, a more obvious shackle linking him to Elizabeth. - Norrington's powdered wig and social respectibility (if one wants to assume the hat is the sum of all that), that which would have idealy allowed him to be with Elizabeth.
Again, ass talking, but I can't help but be slightly snide--I finally got to go back and see the movie again, and found her character bothered me more than upon initial viewing (probably because I was just so damn delighted that she was taking on a more active role). I also noticed that when Jack returns to the Pearl to shoot the 'splodey barrels, Elizabeth does this weird thing where she reclines on the stairs and clasps herself to his leg in a manner which recalled dozens of tacky submissive romance novel covers to mind, in a moment of delirious, amused horror....
