I could not stand Rosalie in Breaking Dawn. Im Eclipse I thought I might begin to like her because I pitied her but all that went out the window with the pregnancy thing. She is the most selfish, vain, arrogant character I've ever read about. How could she sit there and watch someone die painfully with no thought at all but that she was gonna get what she wanted out of it. she also knew that if Bella died Edward would too. But none of that matters to her. And then being all mean to Jake even though he gave up his old pack, his home, almost everything to protect her family. And then she treats him badly. He could have turned around and just let Sam have them but he didn't and she still treated them with hostility. No wonder Alice likes Bella better as a sister in the short time she's known her and Edward has never given a single one of his mothers belongings to Rosalie. The only reason anyone probably wants her around is because her and Emmett are a package deal and the rest of them like Emmett.

amen to that sister. although she probably has her good moments....or not.

but i'll say it again, i have all the sympathy in the world for what happened to her. i do not, however, believe that gives her the right to treat people badly.

After reading BD I don't know what to make of Rosalie. I thought I had figured her out at the end of Eclipse.I understood she was bitter about how never got to live her life and that she was kind of jealous that Bella had choice in the matter, that Bella was taking for granted the things in life that Rosalie never had the chance to experience. But,then read BD and I couldn't figure her out as she seemed to care more about the baby than saving Bella's life.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I really wanted to like Rosalie as much as the rest of the Cullens, and I felt that SM wouldn't let me. I feel like I think higher of Rosalie than Stephenie does. Granted, they are her characters and I know not every character can be good and wonderful and likeable,but she just seemed too much of a contrast to the rest of the family. I felt like there must have been more to her that we weren't allowed to see, otherwise she wouldn't be a part of the family at all. Regarding Breaking Dawn, yes, it did seem she was acting selfishly and did not care if Bella lived or died, but Bella sort of asked for this by taking advantage of Rosalie's feelings in the first place. Overall, I think I would have liked to see some more compassion from Rosalie- I like that she didn't love Bella like the rest of the family and that she was bitter and jealous- but I think it would have been nice for her to be a little more equal to the rest of the Cullens.

In the first 3 books she was just there. Now as I am 300 pages into BD I hate her. Though her and Jacob provide some great comic relief. She just seems very selfish, from the end of Eclipse to Breaking Dawn.

I think Rosalie is a very misunderstood character. People often misinterperet her actions, I feel sorry for her. Not only because she had to give up everything she ever wanted but because people hate her for something that deeply wounded her.
