The gloves are… on
In Titanic, a romance arises between two individuals with vastly different social backgrounds. Jack, a young man from the working class, obtains his way on the crucial ship through a game of poker, whereas Rose comes from the affluent upper class and is constrained by numerous social norms.
Rose’s mother often reminds people about formal manners, so it seems a little odd that she would break one of the most crucial guidelines. It appears that the production staff was unaware that women were not allowed to wear gloves while dining. Perhaps the set was simply too cold.
