Question: Reasons to hate Edward Cullen/Jacob Black!?
What are your reasons for hating Edward or Jacob or both!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My least favorite Twilight character is Edward!. I personally can recognize some good qualities in Edward, but if you want a very very in-depth arguement about why Jake is better than Edward, read this arguement from Epiphany:
"Edward is controlling and overprotective!. I don't blame him for being worried about Bella, and I certainly don't blame him from being protective!. I don't have a problem with his *motivations*!. I have a problem with his actions!. He has NO right to dismantle her car and have his sister kidnap her!. The difference between Edward and Jake is that Jake always gives Bella a choice in the matter-- he did things that indirectly made her do what he wanted, but if she had really wanted to, she could have said no!. Edward, on the other hand, does things that FORCE Bella into compliance with his will!. He should have said, "Bella, I'm jealous when you are with Jake!. I'm worried he'll hurt you, so I don't want you with him, please"!. Instead, he says, "You can't see him!. I don't care what you say!. I'll stop you if you try to"!. He doesn't even attempt to look at it from her perspective, but later in Eclipse complains that Bella isn't looking at things from his perspective!. He complains that her being with Jake is dangerous, yet he allows Bella to hang around his brother Jasper, who nearly killed her once!. Makes sense, right!? I sense a little hypocrisy from him!.

What bothers me is that Edward thinks he has the RIGHT to tell her what to do!. What bothers me is that he thinks he has the RIGHT to dismantle her car, take her from her friend, and have his sister kidnap her!. I don't have a problem with his motivations-- he's entitled to be worried!. She IS his girlfriend!. What he's NOT entitled to do is force her into compliance with his will!. He takes away her choice in the matter several times, which is controlling!. He has no right to do that!. Him doing that also shows that he thinks he knows what was best for her better than she does!. He has a point, but at the same time, it's Bella's life!. He can voice his opinion, but it's still her life!. Ultimately, it should be her decision!.

Edward doesn't care about the happiness of those around him!. He says that himself-- he says all he needs is for Bella to be happy, no one else!. This is evidenced by the fact that he decided to "kill" himself in New Moon, even though he knew it would devastate his family!. All he cares about is Bella!. Edward can be extremely selfish, too!. I'd argue that 9 out of 10 times, suicide is selfish!. If Edward really would have killed himself, it would have been selfish!. It would have hurt his family!. And he got involved with Bella, even though he was aware it would probably end badly or she would have to become a vampire-- SELFISHNESS!. He's generally a selfless person, but when he decides to be selfish, it ends up screwing several people over!.

He is very subtly manipulative!. He's a baby when he doesn't get his way, as Alice says!. He throws a fit when he doesn't!. Edward knows human nature like the back of his hand, and hence is fairly arrogant!. He knows what to do to get what he wants!. Although I think it's unintentional sometimes, he manipulates Bella into doing what he wants!. He tells her they have to get married, persists on it the entire book, then at the very end backs down!. This makes Bella feel like he is selfless, makes her feel guiltier, and makes her want to get married!. He indirectly does things that guilt her into doing what he wants!.

Speaking of the marriage thing-- Edward manipulated her into marrying him!. She obviously didn't want to do it, but he pressured her until she gave in!. Marriage is NOT something you should bargain with!. If you get married, it should be because YOU want to get married, not because you feel obligated!. Marriage is an important step in life-- if you get married, you wholeheartedly should desire being married!. Marriage is a serious thing, in my eyes!. I hate that Edward uses marriage as a BARGAINING tool!. It just horrifies me!.

He's so black and white!. There is never a gray area for him!. He's always at one end of the spectrum or the other; there is no moderation!. He's a sucky compromiser and he doesn't like to compromise (because he likes getting his way)!. One minute he's saying she will never see Jake again, the next he's throwing her into his arms!. One moment he promises not to leave, the next he leaves seemingly forever!. He thinks Bella is in danger, he sends her to Florida!. There is NEVER a gray area for him!. He overreacts!. He doesn't know how to handle bad situations-- he completely loses his head and loses the ability to think through the problem logically!. He's too black and white for his own good!. My motto in life is "moderation in all things"!. I don't believe in extremism towards anything, typically!. To me, that makes Edward a little immature-- he's so black and white, that he can't handle less than ideal situations!."-epiphanyWww@QuestionHome@Com

i LOVE BOTH OF THEM!.!.!.!.!.and for soo many reasons, they are just great characters and they have ups and downs but seriously if they were perfect guys how on earth could you have an exciting book!?!?

edward- so glad he got bella!. never really doubted in my mind that bella would pick jacob!. he is hot and amazing and nice, and im a litle over-obsessed with him but thats just me!. he is so caring and kind, and i love the whole 1800's personality about him!.!.

jacob- not a prick, i know he printed on her baby, but its not like he wants to do anything gross with her, he's just gonna be the best biggest brother ever, then maybe more when renesmee is older!. i know jacob was persistent with bella and never gave up, and always intruded on her personal space, but he was just trying so hard and he truly loved bella, and i just love him for trying!.!.!.especially the whole scene in the third book when bella says no to jacob and then completely melts down and then jacob is all hurt and sad it made me soo upset!. not that i wanted jacob with bella or anything but the fact that he was just in pain!. wow, i sound a little obsessive, but lol, i love these books to death?

All these people are funny!. I love both Edward and Jacob!. Yes they both have flaws, but that's what makes them even more lovable!.

Drama Queen- Jacob only moved in on Edward's position because Bella put him in that position!. If she wouldn't have gone to him when she was so vulnerable, he probably wouldn't have been as likely to fall in love with her!. The werewolves (or shape shifters) have no control on who they imprint on!. Therefore, it is not Jacobs fault he just wants Renesmee to be happy!.

Creed B- Now, people can see Edward as "abusive" or "stalker," but in my opinion he is caring and over protective!. Honestly, how did you come up with abusive!? And Jacob can be immature, yet he is only sixteen!. He also thinks he has found true love, and if you thought that at sixteen would you leave!?

Dancer Chick- I think that he is not a jerk, just fighting for what he wants!. He cannot control who he imprints on!. On who are you talking about him kissing, Bella or Renesmee!. When he did kiss Bella, I was pissed too!. I don't remember him kissing Renesmee!. If he did it was probably just on the forehead!. Why should he be shy talking to Edward!? And having his fantasies, do you know any sixteen year old hormonal boy who can control his fantasies!.

Jon- I do agree with some of the things he said, like about the kissing!. Although, once again, Jacob is sixteen!. He thinks he has found love, why would he walk away from it!?

Shut up and!.!.- In my opinion, Edward is not boring!. And how could a girl hate a guy if he gave her everything she wanted!? I know I wouldn't, I would feel bad!. I was upset when Jacob said "he could share!." In the book, he did say he didn't think of her like that though!. He only wanted what was best for her!. So Jacob does not want to "do the nasty" with little Rensemee!. He is just like a big brother, like Quil and the baby he imprinted on!.

And I don't mean to offend anyone or be rude, these are just my opinions!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Team Edward!!

Reasons to hate Jacob, how do I ever count the ways!?
He's a JERK!
Whoop de doo, he saved Bella in New Moon!. What was that supposed to make him GOD in Eclipse!? Dude, he saved you from drowning!. But you better believe he wouldn't kill himself if she DID drown!. Now she seriously can't decide between Jacob and Edward!. WTF!

He imprinted on Renesme!. That made me really mad!.

He kissed Bella!. More than once!. Without permission!. He wouldn't kill himself if she didn't kiss him!. I know better!. He's so selfish!

Lastly, he's so rude to Edward!. I get it: He has the girl Jacob wants!. Sometimes I think he's being an asshole on purpose to try to get Edward to snap!. He took advantage of the fact that Edward wanted Bella to be happy!.

Sorry, I'm over-obsessed!.!.!.!. *runs away red-faced*Www@QuestionHome@Com

i hate jacob black because he is sooo obnoxious!. he is always so annoying and sort of clingy to bella and it got on my nerves!. why did he have to be sooo damn persistant!? lol!.
like when he kissed her on the beach, without her permission!. to me, that's pretty much like harrassment or assault!. and then when he said that he would kill himself if she didn't kiss him !.!.!. what a prick! why would he do that to her!? this is why i like edward more, because he actually considers what bella wants !.!.!.!. unlike jacob!. jacob's selfish while edward is selfless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Edward- Completely and utterly boring!. Never does much except give Bella everything she wants!. How shallow!.

Jacob- Imprinted on a newborn baby!. Wrong on SO many levels!. And he has the nerve to say "he can share Nessie"!. What a prick! Bella had hardly even HELD her baby and he already wants to do the nasty with her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
