Davy Jones and Calypso See who I am

And a heart. I learned that if you stab the heart, yours must take its place. And you will sail the seas for eternity. The Dutchman must have a captain. Silly thing to die for."



This heart was removed by Davy Jones from his own chest after his betrayal to the sea goddess Calypso, who had forsaken him prior to his betrayal. Jones carved out his heart in order to no longer feel the emotion of love again. He would lock the heart in the Dead Man's Chest and buried it on Isla Cruces, hiding it from the world. Lord Cutler Beckett would later gain possession of the heart, in which he would use it to control Jones

"What, exactly, did he put into the chest?"
"Him heart."
"Literally or figuratively?"
"He couldn't literally put his heart in a chest...could he?"
"It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings...And so, him carve out him heart, lock it down in a chest, and hide the chest from the world."

After the goddess Calypso had forsaken Davy Jones, Jones turned to the Brethren Court, who convened a great Conclave. With his help, the Brethren was able to imprison Calypso into her human form. But this would not help, because Jones' grief and guilt became so great, he carved out his own heart right out of his chest, and locked it away into the Dead Man's Chest. As a result, a geis was cast upon it along with Jones' ship, the Flying Dutchman—whoever stabs Jones' heart, theirs must take its place, as the Dutchmanmust always have a captain.

To keep his fate intact, Jones had the chest hidden on Isla Cruces so it could be safe from potential mutineers aboard the Flying Dutchman and away from his haunted sight. He kept the key hidden within his facial tentacles at all times. Whoever gains control of the chest was able to control Jones by extortion. Jones was immortal so long as his heart remained safe.

At World's End" really fascinated me. In spite of Davy Jones cruel character, he has appeared to be extremely influenced by situations involving love and obsession. He fell deeply in love with Calypso (Tia Dalma).She persuaded him to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman -a ghost ship that can never go home and destined to sail the seven seas., thus ferry souls to the other world and with the curse of being able to visit Calypso once every ten years.

After his first ten years of servitude to the Flying Dutchman, he reached land only to find out that Calypso forsaken him. She betrayed him. In his grief, Davy Jones cut his own heart out and locked it in a chest vault. Having neglected his duty in ferrying souls to the other side, he became the cephalopod-like monster he is now. He then called together the Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court and together bound the goddess to a human form, Tia Dalma.

His passionate nature rarely shown, when he plays on the pipe organ while shedding a single tear over Calypso, meeting her aboard the Black Pearl in their moments of conversation, Calypso says she still has deep feelings for Jones, and explains regretfully why she failed to meet him on the appointed day, saying Jones would not have loved her if not for her uncontrollable and changeable nature. Jones says he no longer loves her. Calypso chastises him for failing to fulfill his duty of ferrying those who died at sea to the other world. It was because Jones ruined his purpose and his mind that he becomes a monster, eternally at sea.

Calypso is angry that Pirate Lords bound her into a human body and threatens to set free her anger upon them once she is released. She adds that after her release, she will fully give her love to Jones, and it appears they have reconciled their differences. When she touches Jones, he temporarily changes back into the man he once was. Before leaving, Jones thoughtfully remarks that his heart will always belong to her. Even to his death, when Will stabbed Jones heart, Jones stumbled against the side of the ship, mumbled his one true love's name on his last breath, and fell over the railing into the plying that he may or may not be truly reunited with Calypso.

That was their story. What will happen next? Indeed not all stories may have happy ending.
