However, when Elizabeth requests this as a wedding gift to her, Norrington, stunned and delighted that Elizabeth has accepted his proposal, agrees. He even asks for Jack's assistance to locate Isla de Muerta but under the condition that he remains quiet for the rest of the long voyage back to Port Royal afterward. He uses the phrase "silent as the grave. Norrington and his crew arrive at Isla de Muerta, only it is Jack Sparrow who now appears to be controlling the proceedings, though Norrington hardly trusts Sparrow or his plan to ambush the pirates.
While waiting outside the sea cave's entrance in a longboat, Norrington is unaware that the pirates have distracted them from their soldiers on their ship with a dressed up Pintel and Ragetti , so that the pirates can infiltrate the Dauntless , and are currently attacking his crew. Hearing a distress call from one of his men by the bell, he orders his men back to the ship where they battle the immortal pirates. The situation seems hopeless until Will Turner is able to break the curse from within the island, thus making the pirates mortal once more, allowing Norrington's men to defeat them and finally trust Sparrow's plans again.
The Commodore imprisons the evil surrendered pirates and brings everybody back to Port Royal including Jack Sparrow. Despite thanking him for the victory against Barbossa, Norrington, apparently reluctantly, agrees to obey the law and hang Jack for piracy.
Will and Elizabeth see the kindness in Jack and free Sparrow from the gallows, but they are quickly caught. Elizabeth, who loves Will, stands by him and Jack. Governor Swann pardons Will again, while Sparrow escapes. Norrington graciously accepts Elizabeth's wish to marry Will and even postpones pursuing Sparrow for one day. While pursuing Jack Sparrow, Norrington's ship was lost in a hurricane off Tripoli. Disgraced, Norrington resigned his post and disappeared.
Norrington's whereabouts are still unknown when Lord Cutler Beckett arrives in Port Royal with an arrest warrant for Norrington's part in Jack Sparrow's escape. Beckett also arrests Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. By now, Norrington has hit bottom; he drinks heavily and wears his filthy, tattered commodore uniform when he turns up in Tortuga , applying for a position aboard Jack Sparrow's ship, the Black Pearl. He soon becomes obsessed with reclaiming his honor any way he can, and seeks revenge against those he believes responsible for causing his downfall, notably Sparrow.
The Letters of Marque, if validated, give the owner a full pardon and employment as a Privateer for England. He also observes a budding relationship between Sparrow and Elizabeth, who is also aboard. When Elizabeth hears that Will Turner is being held captive on Davy Jones' ship, the Flying Dutchman , Norrington suggests to her that Sparrow is somehow involved but she refuses to believe him.
When the Black Pearl arrives at Isla Cruces , Norrington is among the crew who accompany Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann ashore to search for Davy Jones' chest, after digging it and pulling it out of the ground, once he hears the heartbeat he admits Jack was telling the truth. After a series of events, including Will Turner's sudden arrival, Norrington becomes embroiled in a three-way sword fight with Sparrow and Turner to claim the key to the chest containing Davy Jones' beating heart; Jack wants to free himself from his blood debt with Davy and avoid the Kraken ; Will wants to free his father from Davy's servitude, and Norrington wants to get his job back.
Norrington just before the battle revealed that Lord Beckett hopes to claim the Chest, if Norrington delivered it he would get his life back, Just when Norrington was about to kill Jack, Jack pointed that Will had been responsible for some of the events that led to Norrington disgrace, Norrington then turned on Turner. Matters are further complicated by the Flying Dutchman 's crew appearing on the scene.
However, it turned out Norrington didn't have to search for Sparrow because Sparrow himself "invaded" Port Royal alone.
He was quickly captured and thrown into the dungeon. When he confronted Sparrow, Norrington commented that Jack really was the worst pirate that he ever heard of. However, Jack quickly escaped, with the secret help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, taking one of the cursed pirates, Scurvy Joe , with him. Once again forced to pursue Sparrow, Norrington and his men sailed for Tortuga , where they expected to find him.
However, since Tortuga was officially a French colony, Norrington and his men couldn't enter the port as members of the British Navy. After disguising themselves in civilian clothes, they found Sparrow and cornered him in one alley.
However, Anamaria interrupted them, and Sparrow managed to run away. They chased him, but they were stopped by a man wearing the hat and cloak of the Governor of Tortuga. The "governor" threatened to arrest Norrington and his men as spies, but the real governor suddenly appeared, and it turned out that the imposter is actually Jack Sparrow in disguise.
Using the governor's coach, Jack escaped once again, and the real governor also threatened to arrest Norrington and his men. While pursuing Jack Sparrow, Norrington's ship, the Dauntless , was destroyed by a hurricane off Tripoli. Disgraced and embarrassed, Norrington resigned his post and disappeared.
This proved to be fortunate however as no one knew where he was when Lord Cutler Beckett had appeared with a warrant for his arrest for him allowing Jack to escape. During this time, James Norrington became a broken man, he started drinking heavily, and was found still wearing his Commodore uniform, albeit now rags, in Tortuga , in a bar where he applied for a position on the Black Pearl , to become a pirate himself. He became largely concerned with regaining his honor in any way possible, however, and about getting revenge on the people that he believed ruined his life.
During his time on the Pearl , Norrington did not believe Jack was telling the truth about the Chest of Davy Jones , until he actually saw the Chest and heard the heart beating within it. He seemed to have found out or guessed how Will Turner ended up on the Flying Dutchman , and also noticed the growing relationship between Jack and Elizabeth. After a series of events including Will Turner's reappearance, Norrington became embroiled in a complicated three way sword fight with Jack Sparrow and the aforementioned Will Turner.
This was further complicated by the arrival of the Flying Dutchman. Norrington proved to be more than a match for Jack who he disarmed. After Jack was removed from the fight he engaged in a lengthy dual with Will on top of a rolling waterwheel, this lasted sometime until Jack caught up and entered the waterwheel after which the fight for the key resumed with all three parties fighting inside the wheel for the key.
However Jack managed to take the key and climb out of the wheel. After the group was convened Norrington escaped with the empty chest , feigning a diversion so that the crew of the Black Pearl could escape.
When Davy Jones' crew caught up to him, he quickly tossed them the empty chest and fled the scene. Though he merely hoped to win the commission as a privateer , Norrington was reinstated to the Royal Navy [10] and Beckett gave him the rank of admiral for the East India Company's fleet. Now under the employ of the East India Trading Company, Norrington was given back his sword from his days as commodore. After Lord Beckett had become frustrated with Davy Jones for killing all his prey and leaving no survivors for interrogation, he placed Admiral Norrington in command of the Flying Dutchman in order to ensure that Jones did as commanded.
He also decided to have Jones' heart placed onboard the Flying Dutchman to further ensure Jones's compliance.
Norrington's marines kept a constant vigil over the heart with swivel guns , to use in case the crew attempted to take the chest. Admiral James Norrington aboard the Empress. Norrington led the boarding party, and was reunited with Elizabeth onboard.
Just then he was happy to see Elizabeth alive, as was Elizabeth, until she recalled that Norrington was now allied with her adversaries. She angrily accused him of choosing the side that murdered her father.
Norrington was shocked to hear of this, and was also shocked that Elizabeth had become a pirate captain. Norrington then ordered the prisoners put into the brig and offered Elizabeth his quarters, but Elizabeth declined, choosing instead to be with her crew, and as far from Norrington as possible. Norrington pleaded with Elizabeth to understand that he did not know what atrocities Lord Beckett had ordered to be carried out, but Elizabeth would hear none of it.
Norrington was otherwise stunned, as Lord Beckett—the very man who had given him his life back—had lied to him and was part of the death of a friend whom he had known since he was only a lieutenant in the British Royal Navy. While Elizabeth and her crew were in the brig aboard the Flying Dutchman , James Norrington released them, stating that he's chosen their side, allowing them to make their escape. Upon reaching the rope connecting the Empress to the Dutchman , James and Elizabeth help the crew of the Empress escape the Dutchman.
However, Elizabeth was still angry with Norrington. James insisted that he had no part in her father's death, stating that he lamented his other misdeeds.
Finally seeing the truth, Elizabeth requested that he go with her. But before he could answer, Bootstrap Bill Turner appeared from the top deck and went on his way down. Norrington pulled out his sword and told Elizabeth to go and reluctantly said that he would follow her, Elizabeth knew that he was lying.
He told Elizabeth that even though their paths have crossed, they wouldn't truly be together. Seeing that Elizabeth was going towards him, James fired his pistol at the restraints connecting the two ships.
Elizabeth managed to escape, but Norrington was fatally wounded by Turner. Upon arriving at the scene, Davy Jones asked James Norrington if he feared death.
With his last breath, Norrington speared Jones with his sword before dying. Jones took that action as a "no". Taking out Norrington's sword, Jones admired the blade and kept it for himself. James Norrington was a loyal officer in service to the British Empire. He enjoyed power but he never abused it like Cutler Beckett , taking pride in his service to others before himself. When he captained the HMS Interceptor , Norrington had chased and captured some of the Caribbean's most fearsome pirates.
He was dedicated to the laws against piracy and attempted to have all pirates executed, so much as to show off the bodies of the executed pirates near the docks, hoping that this grisly spectacle will encourage passing sailors to obey the law. As a newly minted commodore, Norrington exercised restraint in his proposal to Elizabeth, who greatly underestimated his love for her. Later, when Elizabeth stood by Will Turner in protecting Jack Sparrow , a pirate captured twice by his men, Norrington knew that he could never win Elizabeth's heart.
Accepting defeat nobly, he parted with the civil warning to Will, " This is a beautiful sword, I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life" , making it clear he expected Will to treat Elizabeth with the utmost respect.
It also showed that, despite the sword widely having been believed to be crafted by John Brown , Norrington at least deduced the truth and acknowledged it and Will's talent. After Jack escaped from Port Royal, recapturing him became a mission that took over Norrington. He chased the pirate all over the world, until he made the fatal mistake of sailing through a hurricane.
He resigned from the Navy for his foolishness and became a penniless drunk. She's become a role-model for young people all over the world thanks to her believable character development, transcending her trappings as a lady of society and transforming into the Pirate King of the Brethren Court. With so much action on the high seas during the four films she was in, it's easy to miss some of the most intriguing aspects of her character. Taking a look back at her adventures, her metamorphosis reveals many mysteries that otherwise might have been lost to the depths.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was the fifth film of the franchise and intended to reboot it, but it failed to capture the imagination and entertainment of the original trilogy. It also destroyed Elizabeth's character. She's given 2 minutes of screen time, and she's once again wearing a corset and gown like the prim and proper aristocratic lady she was in the first film.
It's as though all of her character development into the Pirate King never happened. When Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End concluded, fans were delighted to see Elizabeth wearing her Pirate King regalia, complete with a sword at her side.
Even in the post credit scene featuring her ten year old son by Will Turner, she continued to wear clothing inspired by her pirate adventures. When she appears again in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, she seems to have given up her identity as a former pirate to dress how a lady of society is expected to. Some viewers might have seen it as a sign of maturity, but for a woman like Elizabeth who wanted nothing more than to rip off her corset and sail the high seas, it seemed completely tone deaf.
Elizabeth Swann decides to raise her son on land instead of at sea while his father Will captains the Flying Dutchmen. It's never explained why she couldn't have raised her son on a ship, or taken a ship out to see his father in the middle of the ocean. It wouldn't have voided Will's contract under the Dutchman, unless he was specifically sailing through alternate dimensions or to and from Davy Jones' Locker.
