Why was Elizabeth in the rain and alone?

Why was Elizabeth in the rain and alone? - Person Standing on Brown Wooden Dock

At the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, it shows Elizabeth Swann in the rain, by herself.

This happened before Cutler Beckett arrests Will and Elizabeth. And even before Beckett's arrival to the Port Royale.

It's supposed to be her wedding day. Just before her marriage why was she alone? And why she was kneeling under the rain?

It shows a number of chairs and wedding arrangements in the background.



Best Answer

That scene depicts the wedding getting cancelled.

You might be confused because arrival of Cutler Beckett and arresting turner is shown in kind of flashback.

Basically, movie shows this scene like kind of prolouge.

So sequence of events are like this :

  1. Cuttler Becket arrives.
  2. He arrests Turner under charges for helping Jack.
  3. Swan is crying ( this scene which was shown in start ).
  4. Cuttler arrests Swan.

This scene is shown in start as it sets the mood of movie or emphasis on importance of their marriage. This marriage is main motive for swan and turner to do Cuttler's bidding
