I love Edward, but I do wish he was less protective. At the beginning of Eclipse, he is shown as really over-protective. He gives the reason because werewolves are a danger. They aren't in control of their emotions, and while that's true, he was also prejudice. But, he does trust Bella's judgment. He'd rather believe her than let his pre-conceived thoughts create a wedge between them.
Certain things he does because of his over-protectiveness is hard to defend at times. Alot of people use that against him. And even though I still love his character, I do wish he wasn't as protective.
However, he did lighten up towards the end of the book.
And, although he is still over-protective, I kind of love that quality at the same time. You know he cares for Bella enough. She may get mad at him for trying to protect her, but that's just showing you how much he loves her. Kind of like over-protective parents or friends. They're just trying to make sure you don't get hurt. They'd rather have you mad at them then hurt.
Another thing... I wish he wasn't so self-depricating. He always finds a way to blame himself. Either guilt-stricken or something else, he always finds a way to put the blame on him.
However, I do like how, as the books progress, Edward starts to think that maybe he isn't such a bad creature. Because, how could someone like Bella love someone like him if he was as bad as he thinks he is? I love that he begins to feel worthy of love. Love changes everything you know? Whether it's someone, or something. It influences you and works in you. Makes you who are.
Oh.. and it's only fair if we have one of these questions for Jacob :P
