Why jacob is better than edward

Even though Jacob and Bella seem like the intelligent choice, if they had ended up together, Bella might have felt bored after a while. Jacob seems like the kind of person who is completely content with where he is and who he is as a person. Edward, because he is immortal, is constantly learning new things and experiencing everything he possibly can.

For Bella, a curious, inquisitive girl , Edward is ultimately the better choice. Despite his cold personality, Edward warms right up around Bella. Everything he does, he does for her. With his intense personality comes his intense love for this once human girl. Bella craves this type of fairytale intensity, which Jacob honestly cannot provide for her.

The idea that she can forever travel, learn and live with Edward is a much more appealing idea than staying in Forks forever with Jacob and his werewolf pack. Additionally, Edward has always spoken about Jacob with respect, while Jacob made a point of constantly belittling and speaking ill of Edward. Though both men have merits and drawbacks , Team Edward wins out. He generally wants to make sure Bella is safe, and he worries about her being able to make the choices that are best for her.

Jacob has moments where he seems like a better person than Edward, but then he ruins it all by being completely scary later on. The biggest black mark against Edward was his tendency to be way too controlling. Edward was in the wrong when he was controlling, but Jacob was no saint. One of the most upsetting scenes in the books is when Jacob kisses Bella in Eclipse.

She tells him no, and she even pushes him away forcefully, but he keeps kissing her anyway. He very clearly assaulted her, but this gets somewhat brushed off, except by Edward who is upset by it. He becomes more of a jerk as time goes on, and he feels entitled to Bella. He purposefully thinks of explicit fantasies of him and Bella to make Edward mad, and this was disrespectful to Bella, too.

It was troubling that he made these decisions for her instead of with her. While there are moments when it seems like Bella and Jacob would be good together, the fact is that Bella chooses Edward. Jacob resents her for this and continually tries to change her mind. This time it was harder to get swept away. I realized that if made to choose, any right-thinking person would want Bella to end up with Jacob Black.

It took a lot of personal growth over the past 12 years to precipitate my momentous change of heart, but the biggest factor in my defection to Team Jacob is that, since reading Twilight for the first time, I have — and this is a huge personal brag for me — actually had sex. Jacob also makes Bella laugh and supports her through a major depressive episode.

With Jacob, we get to see Bella actually fall in love, instead of watch her obsess over a hot guy who is mean to her.
