Is the story of Jack and Rose in Titanic real?

Answer 1

No, while the Titanic and its tragedy were real, Jack and Rose are simply fictional characters.

There was a trimmer aboard name John Dawson who died when the ship sank, but this is purely coincidental. Besides, he was Irish and his name was John.

There are some rumours that the love story between Jack and Rose was based on a true story. But they are just that: rumors, spread by those who, for whatever personal reasons, need to believe that a fictional story is real.

I mean, there are people who think Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees are real, too. Claims that Jack and Rose are real are no more credible.

If you do a few simple internet searches, you could find hundreds, even thousands, of websites claiming that the moon landings were faked, or that aliens built the pyramids. For that matter, you can find Discussion board posts here on WikiAnswers claiming that Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees are real. Anyone can post information on the internet and claim that it is fact.

All web sources that have even a shred of credibility on this topic (Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, the Internet Movie Database, Chasing the Frog, Titanic-Titanic.com, fanpop.com) will tell you that Jack and Rose are fictional characters.
