Arrr matey, let me spin ye a tale about Pirates of the Caribbean. Have ye ever noticed how Elizabeth Swann always seems to have a touch of the divine about her? Well shiver me timbers, Reddit user u/shawsown has got a theory that she’s actually a goddess of death!
Now, she might not know it yet, but I reckon she’s on the path to realizing her godhood. And it seems like Tia Dalma, the mystic voodoo lady, might be in the same boat (or ship, as it were). Maybe she’s been blocking off that part of herself until it starts to come back.
In this world, there’s already a goddess in charge of the sea – Calypso. She’s got a fella who helps ferry souls for her realm, and it seems like that’s a job that gets passed down to the next deity in line.
So what if Calypso is looking to retire from her afterlife duties and is interviewing/training her replacement? That’s where Elizabeth comes in – she’s essentially doing the same thing for her own consort.
Now, you might be wondering why Elizabeth is a goddess of death instead of the sea. Well, it all has to do with the nature of love and what happens to lovers. When Calypso kisses a lover, they become wild and untamable like the sea. Davy Jones lost himself to a storm of emotion and betrayed his love, while Ragetti became calm.
But when it comes to Elizabeth, every potential lover seems to end up dead. Nortington, Sao Feng, Jack Sparrow, and even Will Turner himself. That’s right, her own consort is a dead man walking!
And speaking of Will, once he takes over as the new ferryman of souls, he doesn’t seem to be in contact with Calypso. No, instead he’s in touch with Elizabeth. That’s because Calypso is done with her stint as facilitating the afterlife – she’s on vacation somewhere, and it’s time for a new goddess to take the reins.
So there you have it, me hearties – Elizabeth Swann, goddess of death. Who knows what adventures await her in the afterlife? Maybe she’ll even bump into ol’ Calypso and they can swap stories over a bottle of rum. Until then, keep yer eyes peeled for any signs of divine intervention on the high seas!
