I think he became cruel because of what happened... However, that metaphor idea made me think of something, you know how when the Hammerhead guy says "he must have been claimed by the sea" Davy Jones said, "I am the sea"... so in that way, maybe Tia Dalma is the sea too...
And it makes sense, because I used to think how can loving somebody cause you pain, and if he loved her, and she loved him, and then she went and loved someone else, like in the scene where she decides she like Will better than Jack, that would cause him alot of pain because that would make his love 'unrequited' I think it is called, and that must be painful...
Hmm... I wonder what would happen if Davy Jones sees Tia Dalma in the third movie...
EDIT:What if he softens up, that would be a risky move on the moviemaker's part
