But i am only going to talk about Edward, i'll leave the rest up to you guys
Edward changed alot, in Twilight and the beggining of New Moon Edward's mind was just so set on he was the sadistic vampire that was the worst thing on this planet for Bella no matter how she felt about him. Edward finally realized in the end of New Moon that no matter what his nature told him to do his love for her could NEVER be broken. It wasnt until Breaking Dawn that Edward truely got to see that Bella loved him with the same intensity. Edward always doubted Bella's love, thinking he could love her more but it was just so great, and it just jumped off the page when you got to see that Edward finally realized that she loved him just as much.
I think Jacob was able to mature some, even though the evidence that he hasn't totally matured is still there (his want to always fight Edward) but overall, he did a lot of growing up, and fast. He was able to set aside his dislike for Edward time after time just to be there for Bella. And he did a lot more looking into himself in Breaking Dawn so that he was better able to understand himself and those around him. He also showed that he was mature in that he was able to follow through with his beliefs when he broke from the pack when they didn't want to see his reasoning.Jules wrote:I felt like Jacob got a lot more sarcatic, but also more grown up. I mean, I think that realizing the world isn't a giant playground, helps.

In other words he matured greatly through all three books and became a very real character. He wasn't just a guy on the sidelines like in Twilight.When in Jake's head, I saw everything as he had--through Eclipse and New Moon : There was conflict and lingering pain but he was beginning to accept things, beginning to heal. I thought his love was genuine enough, that he did love Bella, and Edward had reason enough to fight with him and soon find equal ground but it was really in Breaking Dawn Jacob really had a chance to shine! It took a few pages to shift from Bella's POV to Jake's, but once I did, it was really easy to see the Jake that Bella met in Twilight, the one she was good friends with in New Moon, and the conflicted Jake in Eclipse. Jake's book in Breaking Dawn was intense, funny, and a good way to see how his pack worked and how he saw Bella and Edward.
