Twilight Saga Eclipse - Third Time's A Charm

I'm going to warn you right away....if you are a Jacob lover, you are not going to like this blog post.

However, I do challenge you to read this because I will bring up a very valid point.

Okay, with that being said...

Jacob is a selfish asshole.

*ducks from the debris being thrown at her from her wolfgirl buds*  LADIES, LET ME FINISH!

*peeks out and takes a deep breath* Thank you. :)

Okay, so maybe that was a tad harsh, but I have good reason.

When I first read Eclipse, I hated Bella...like, a lot. I wanted to reach through my book and wring her fictional neck.

Then I read it a second and third time, and still I could only focus on how much I wanted to hurt Bella and how badly I felt for both Edward and Jacob.

Until I saw Eclipse for the third time.

It was during this outing with my good friend, and fellow Twilight Saga lover, that we came to the conclusion that Jacob deserved no sympathy.

Let me explain.

For one, Jacob was young, and blinded by lust. Bella was the first girl he truly had feelings for, and he was blinded by these new feelings; and the need to mark his territory--like a typical man.

No, this doesn't make him an asshole.

Knowing that he could imprint on a woman at any time just by seeing her and still wanting to pursue something with Bella and ruin her relationship with Edward? Yeah, that makes him an asshole, and a selfish one at that.

I never really gave it much thought before, but when my friend pointed this out during our movie-night it was like a lightbulb went off above my head.

How could I have missed such an important detail?

I used to say I was more Team Switzerland, but I'm going to have to rescind on that.

I am Team Edward ALL THE WAY!
