Why did Rose let go of Jack’s hand?
“Why did Rose let Jack die?” The idea is that there was ample space for both Rose and Jack to fit on the makeshift raft on which Rose staves off hypothermia before being saved. But instead of sharing, Rose lets Jack cede the entire board to her, leaving him to freeze in the water as she dramatically grips his hands.
Why did Rose jump off the lifeboat?
Rose had the opportunity to survive the sinking with her mother, but chose to run off in search of Jack to save him. Once he was found and set free, both ran to every lifeboat left to find one with one seat left and Jack and Caledon put their differences aside and lied to get Rose to board the lifeboat.
Why did Rose let Jack sink?
If Jack had indeed climbed onto the plank, it would have partially or fully submerged into the cold water. So it was both dangerous and risky – if it didn’t sink, then they would be in water and get hypothermia. Hence Jack decided to sacrifice himself so that Rose could stay out of the water and safe on the raft.
Could Jack have fit on the door in Titanic?

Why did Jack and rose’s door look like that?
It bears a striking resemblance to the piece of debris Rose used as a life raft in the movie “Titanic” and, according to the museum, influenced its design. Even though it wasn’t a door, physics — plus the estimated weight of Jack and Rose — indicates that unless the wood was pine, Jack’s survival was mathematically impossible.
