Marcus was the only character to get that depressed. Irina was sad when Laurent died but she didn't get that depressed. And Victoria was sad when James died but she didn't get that depressed.

Meyer said that the reason why the wives are under guard all the time it because both Aro and Caius saw how depressed Marcus became after Didyme was killed. Both Aro and Caius don't wont to take that chance...so they keep their mates watched underguard 24-7. Believe it not...both Aro and Caius do love their mates. Most ALL vampires develop a supernatural love for their mates. There is a reason why Irina and Victoria did not act as depressed as Marcus. They both KNEW who the killer of their mate was. So Irina and Victoria were more consumed with revenge than anything else. But once a vampire falls in love...it is for ever. So even if Irina and Victoria had been successful in killing the ones who killed their mates...they then would have lapsed into a great depression. Each of them would have always missed their lover for as long as they would live.
