I guess I'm just way to girl power, because if that were true, the whole proposing to Alice out of gratefulness it doesn't really make it any better to me anyway. It seems like if that were the case he just thought of the Duchess as someone who was waiting in the wings, someone who would say yes no matter what.
I mean what would've happened if Alice had said yes, the Duchess would've been left with no one. Jack was, in a way, putting his feelings for Alice and what he felt were his obligations, above his feelings for her.
And even though she knew before she told him how she felt, that she would never be first in his life, she still told him. She put herself out there and he just turned around and proposed to Alice. It kinda hurts a girl.
But then again thats just my opinion and I could just be completely jaded lol.
Do you know why they call me Hatter?
Because you wear a hat?
...No...
