A heartbroken Victor decided to dedicate himself to Emily, even agreeing to give up his life for her, possibly for his own broken heart and also for Emilys happiness. However, despite Victor expressing deep feelings for Emily, he was not in love with her. In fact, it is highly possible that he only agreed to the marriage out of sympathy for Emilys case. His sympathy for her was stated when he tried to apologize yet explain at the same time to Emily about them being different.

Despite his nervous nature, Victor can be very brave in urgent situations, as seen during his and Emilys wedding ceremony when Lord Barkis interrupted and tried to take Victoria away, causing Victor to fight Lord Barkis with a fork thrown to him by Mrs. Plum, even while Lord Barkis was armed with Bonesapartes sword.

Plot. Victors family are fish merchants, who recently became nouveau riches (meaning that they made a fortune, and seek to integrate the higher circles of society) by inventing canned fish.

During the wedding rehearsal, Victor messes up the whole ceremony, although Victoria tries her best to help. After the ruined rehearsal and Victors disappearance, Victoria becomes worried about Victor and is seen feeling upset about his supposed runaway with another woman.

Emily had come to see Victor (as he had disguised his visit to Victoria as a visit to his parents in order to return to the living world), but upon seeing Victoria, she became hurt and angered that Victor tricked her in order to see another woman and drags him back to the Land of the Dead while Victoria watches this in shock.

Later, in the Land of the Dead, Emily, after fighting with Victor, begins to feel insecure and laments about her current state, comparing herself to Victoria, who she believes Victor favors because she is alive while Emily is not. Emilys friends attempt to comfort her and demean Victoria in the process, but they fail to console her. Meanwhile, Victoria tries to tell her parents about Victor and Emily, but no one listens to her and believe she has gone mad. It also seems that Victors disappearance has taken a toll on Victorias appearance, making her look insane, which doesnt help the fact that no one believes her claims that her fiancé was married to a corpse.

After being locked in her room, Victoria breaks out of her room and goes to pastor, hoping he could tell her if the dead can really marry the living and if there is a way to somehow reverse the process, which she believes could help her rescue Victor, but he instead turns her in to her parents.

Who was the corpse bride supposed to marry?

Emily is willing to give her whole heart (even literally) to those she cares for, and would even sacrifice her own happiness even after to help them, as evidenced when she stops Victor Van Dort from killing himself, then willingly steps aside and lets Victoria be with him. She‘s usually a kind person, but she was encouraged highly to marry Victor. (despite the fact that he was alive and she was dead). She was very jealous of Victoria and began to lament about being dead as she believed Victor didnt love her because she wasnt alive, showing that she gets upset easily. She originally intended to marry Victor, even though it meant she was (unknowingly) stealing Victoria Everglots happiness Barkis Bittern stole from her years ago. However, she learns not to use her emotions for selfish reasons, since she saw how depressed Victoria was and saved her from her marriage to Barkis (which would have led to Victoria suffering the same fate as Emily). She then learns that she cant steal another persons happiness just so she can achieve her own and ultimately decides to stop her wedding with Victor (the goal she has been trying to achieve for the majority of the film) so he and Victoria can achieve happiness. She takes off her wedding ring, gives it back to Victor, tosses her bouquet and leaves the church. Her purpose being fulfilled, Emily turns into a million butterflies and descends into the moonlight implying that shes now at peace.

Biography. Emily was the daughter of an unspecified wealthy Victorian era family. Apparently, she had a high education regarding arts related with music, since she surprised Victor with her piano skills. She was also regarded as a beauty known for miles around, which hints that she may have had a lot of suitors.

Emily met Lord Barkis Bittern, a poor yet charming man who she fell deeply in love with, but her parents (Her English father & French mother) didnt approve of due his lack of fortune. When Barkis was rejected her hand in marriage by her parents, he convinced her to elope with him using his charm. They agreed to meet under the cover of night at 3 AM under an old oak tree out in the woods. On that foggy night, Emily snuck out wearing her mothers wedding dress and carried a small fortune (a gold satchel filled with the family jewels) with her, the last at Lord Barkis request. Unbeknownst to the young lady, her groom-to-be had only proposed to steal her familys fortune.

What does Victor want in Corpse Bride?

Challenge… separating from Emily. Although she is beautiful (at least for a corpse), Victor doesnt love her and just wants to get out of the marriage and back to the land of the living. But Emily wont have it. She was tragically murdered the night before her wedding, and desperately wants another chance at love with Victor. And unlike Victor, Emily isnt the type to give up easily…

Personality… timid, bumbling, and anxious. Kind but cripplingly shy, Victor often has trouble saying the right words at the right time, much less standing up to anybody around him. Constantly self-doubting, Victor is always worrying or clumsily stumbling around. But in the Land of the Dead, finally free from the restrictive customs of Victorian society, he seems to be finally coming out of his shell.
