^^ Yeah. SM said that she is loyal didn't she? And she also said that she's very close to her adopted family (or something like that) so I guess she has a pretty good relationship with everyone.
I wanted to see how it was like when Esme and Rosalie were the only girls in the family. That must have been funny! Their personalities are so different.
I think that when Rose was a newborn Esme was the one keeping her in the family. The way she says she hates being a vampire makes me think that she wanted to kill Carlisle for what he had done to her.

Rosalie's as fierce as Hale. More than Tyra Banks.

i think it's interesting because of all the cullens she came off to me as the "coldest" besides jasper, and when you think about it she's probably one of the more passionate members of the family.

Rosalie in Breaking Dawn

Post by eve2eden »

Rosalie is a pretty nasty piece of work, but most people seem to feel that she redeemed herself in Breaking Dawn. I personally found her behavior in that book the most disturbing of all, and I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

It was clear (at least to me) that she was completely motivated by her feelings about the baby and did not care about Bella even the smallest bit. Knowing her history and character this in itself would not have been surprising (though I agreed with Jacob when he cringed seeing Rosalie so close to Bella when she was ill and vulnerable) but I was disappointed by the fact that she went out of her way to antagonize Edward- and to a certain extent the rest of the family, who I'm sure were also suffering in watching Bella slowly die- when he was in such obvious pain. If she wasn't capable of showing kindness or sympathy, she could have at least dredged up some compassion and not intentionally made Edward feel worse. Rosalie supposedly loves Emmett deeply, so she should have been able to identify with Edward's feelings on some level at least. I don't think Breaking Dawn can be used, as it often is, as evidence that Rosalie became a better person by the end of the series. Her two most unattractive personality traits- her extreme selfishness and her unreasonable hostility towards Edward- remained firmly in place to the end.

Does anyone agree?

hmm well, i can understand her helping bella for the sake of the baby. what i cannot understand is disregarding bella's life because she figured that even if bella died, the baby would go to her. as if edward would have let it live. but i can UNDERSTAND feeling that way. what i absolutely cannot understand and find totally despicable was her behavior towards everyone else, other than bella.

I totally agree with you I had the same thoughts when I was reading the book! That's why she's my least favorite character.

We have already discussed that topic and we have moved on because it was creating sort of a mess here. People like me are Rosalie fans and we don't see what she does the way you do. And it didn't take anyone anywhere because people are not gonna change their minds towards Rosalie.

a lot of rosalie fans refuse to even see the fact that rosalie was CLEARLY in it for the baby, even if we can back it up with fact :roll:

yeah, perhaps we should move on to a new topic.

Ichigo Kitty -- please don't misunderstand. but the topic is unsubstantial. there are two sides to it and neither are clearly a 100% right because there are no evidence in the story. we've discussed it over and over and over...again and it's gotten no where. I mean, i am not trying to seem like a mod or anything. you can voice your opinions all you want...

No, I wasn't (duh). I was just saying that we were discussing this and it was over. Now she knows that she can look back and find her answer.
