Is anyone else but me made queasy by the relationship
between Jacob Black and Nessie Cullen? Though their relationship hasn't really
been defined, or at least not that I recall, it's pretty clear which way it
will turn out in the future (or it seems that way to me). Despite Nessie's
accelerated aging, I find it difficult to stomach that in less than ten years
she'll reach full maturity and be considered old enough to do as she pleases,
with whomever she pleases, most likely the Saga's favorite werewolf. Did Jacob
really need a happy ending so much that after being snubbed by Bella multiple
times that Stephanie Meyer just had to make him imprint on the child of the
woman he loves? Since he couldn't have all of Bella, I find it bizarre that
Meyer thought it was a great idea to let him have half of her in a way that was
basically creepy rather than sweet. Other than the infant's parents and
immediate family, who falls in love with a baby, literally at first sight and
in a romantic manner? Apparently Jacob Black. Though I know he didn't choose to
imprint on Nessie, it was a surprise in the novel that I found and still find
difficult to handle and the event as a whole never struck me as sweet or cute.
Then again, to avoid a war between the vampires and wolves, it was the only way
to keep the Cullens and Nessie safe without potentially losing a family member
or pack member so perhaps that was Meyer's intention all along.
Please tell me that I'm not alone in this thought...
I'm sure that there are tons of other Twilight fans who feel just as strongly as you do, I know I am one of them haha. Cuz although it kinda makes since that Jacob had to imprint on her so that the war between the werewolves and the Cullens wouldn't get worse, it still does not take away the fact that the whole imprinting on a baby thing was very creepy...
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree. Jacob imprinting on a baby was kind of creepy.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in between. The whole werewolves and Cullen compromise makes sense, but look at it this way she will be "grown" and at that age the is nothing that anyone left along Nessie can do about it. But on the other had it does sound wrong. Its a good thing that its fiction and not reality.
ReplyDeleteYa the fact he imprinted on a baby is just creepy. I think if this was displayed in a non-fiction story it would be perverted. I think the fact that Twilight is no Fiction and vampires live among werewolves, the whole imprinting on baby thing is just another fictional element. I think that we try to put our moral standards on Twilight because we get lost in the fact Twilight is not real life. The elements and characters of Twilight seem very realistic but at the end of the day it just a story.
