How do I love Will? Let me count the ways...

Lurking in different Pirates communities (mostly turningpirate) got me thinking about why Will is my favorite character from the movie. Especially since Will is the "good guy." Looking back over my favorites from movies and tv shows, I have fell in love mostly with the misunderstood "bad boy"...the one who is really wounded on the inside. Fragile. Vulnerable--though most of the people surrounding him would hardly believe it.

So why Will? In part, maybe it's because I find that I am like him in some ways. Although I don't see myself going on an adventure to save my beloved anytime soon, I have the same tendency to sacrifice what I want sometimes for what others want. Not to say that I do it unselfishly all the times, or that I'm not bitter about the decision, or the need to make it. In some ways, it's in me to deny myself. I see these same qualities in Will.

*Grabs ahold of Will, pulling him over* Comeon, look at the man! What's not to love?
