Answer 2

She hated the sheltered, upper class life she was living. She hated all the rigid social rules and etiquette that kept her behavior so tightly controlled. She wanted to live a life where she could do what she wanted to do, rather than what was expected of her. The fact that she was expected to marry a cruel, abusive man for his money, because her father had blown the family fortune, only made her feel more trapped.

If it sounds stupid to kill yourself because you don't want to live up to the expectations that artistocracy demands, then, you're right. It is stupid. But let's not forget that Rose was only 17 years old at the time, and teenagers are extremely prone to histrionics. Not only that, but as a woman living at the turn of the century, her opportunities were limited.

At that time, it was a woman's job to get married and be a full-time mother and homemaker. There were very few jobs women could get, and most of them offered little or no opportunity for career advancement, as it was expected that a woman would stop working when she got married. As Rose's mother, Ruth, says, "The purpose of university is to find a suitable husband." College education for women was considered superfluous. Women did not need to be educated, since they were not supposed to have careers.

Careers for women were very limited: things like secretary or receptionist, teacher, librarian, maid, seamstress. In fact, when Rose complains to her mother about having to marry Cal Hockley for his money, her mother asks, "You want to see me working as a seamstress? Is that what you want? To see your fine things sold at auction, our memories scattered to the wind?"

A woman could get by on her own, without ever getting married. But she could never be independently wealthy. She could never have a successful career that paid well. And girls at that time were not raised the way girls are today, with the knowledge that they are entitled by law to a chance to compete for the same jobs men do, and to earn the same salaries as men do.

Rose could have left her family and started her own life. In fact, that is what she does at the end of the movie. But that is after she meets Jack and learns a lot about life and herself. At the beginning of the movie, going out on her own would have seemed daunting, if it had even occurred to her at all.
