Not having been on the boards for a while, I'm surprised no one has responded to this . . .spicy16 wrote:What are the main differences between bella's jacob, wolf jacob(not wolf form just after he phased initially), and renesme Jacob???
I think Bella's Jacob was a normal (though somewhat more sensitive than normal) teenage boy who liked cars and enjoyed working on them, liked having fun with his friends, and liked associating with pretty girls. He was basically responsible and nurturing.
Wolf Jacob was resentful. He had been drafted into a war he didn't know existed and which totally impacted his freedom and his sense of self. His new knowledge of who/what had abandoned Bella enraged him, both because vampires had no right to exist and because of what Edward's desertion had done to Bella. He couldn't understand how something as loathsome as a vampire could have such power over Bella. Initially, he also feared his new physical realities would make him disgusting in Bella's sight, which spelled the death of his dreams. After Bella accepted him as a werewolf he wasn't quite as upset, but he still felt hatred towards vampires in general and Edward in particular. IMO, maintaining that level of hatred changes a person. Jacob lost his "innocence." He became more hardened.
I don't have a good feel for Renesmee's Jacob; we don't get to see enough of him. Absolutely committed to Renesmee's happiness, of course; the hatred was gone -- replaced with an all-consuming platonic love -- so he recaptured some of his fun-loving nature; at peace with the future as he saw it; he was still functioning as an Alpha, so his responsiblity bone continued to mature . . . he almost seems middle-aged in book three of Breaking Dawn, like his emotions had caught up with the physical maturity of his body.
