DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ECLIPSE!!!!!!

Jacob Black

I was thinking about it last night and I think I've almost decided on my view of Jacob and here it is (I cant remember exactly how I put it last night, so this won't be perfect):

In Twilight, I thought of Jacob as just some sort of prop that Bella used to get info on Edward, because he really didn't seem like a very important character for the story. I understood why she felt bad about deceiving him because then he wasn't so bad, but not for too long of course because I was paying more attention to Edward (don't we all?). So when Bella started hanging out with Jacob in New Moon, I really didn't think too much of it, just that he didn't stand a chance once Edward came back because he had to come back. Once he did, I felt a bit sorry for him but he did bring it on himself with the "we can't be friends cause your boyfriend's my mortal enemy" thing. I mean come on.

And then Eclipse...............
Well what can I say? He became this annoying, arrogant, over-confident little - well there's really no name for it! I did not like him AT ALL. And then the whole "I love you and you love me, you just don't know it" thing! Ugh! Who does he think he is? She loves Edward, are you blind? Honestly. And then the kiss! UGH! EWW! That was HORRIBLE. I had decided I hated him.
But then, after reading the epilogue and thinking about it from his point of view, I do feel sorry for him in some ways. He's turned into a werewolf and now the one he loves loves someone else. But really he brought this on himself; not all entirely, but if he wasn't sooooo annoying.........

Anyway, he just needs to realize he has to move on. And I also don't really believe that if Edward never existed, she would have ended up with Jacob. Something would have happened, but not that.

So that concludes my thoughts on Jacob Black.

p.s. Hope everyone's enjoying their three-day weekend! :)

p.p.s. I tried to change the viewing of my posts, so you only see the beginning, so it would help lessen the spoiling of Eclipse, but I don't think it worked. Hopefully no one would read this before they're done with Eclipse, it would totally ruin it for them.
