Vampires Question

Who here thinks Twilight's Edward is a stalker and Jacob is a Pedophile?

If a guy you just met was constantly staring at you and following you and sneaking in your room at night to watch you sleep...would that make him a stalker? And if your mom's friend who has been in love with her falls for you after he has just removed your infant body from your mom....and imprints himself on you at moment making you his soulmate and then watches you grow up....doesn't that make him a Pedophile? And even if he does look your age he still is 20 yrs older then you....I find that creepy and wrong. What do you think?

Not me!!!

In order for Jacob to be a pedophile, he would have to be sexually attracted to a child, but he's not. (It is possible to like a child in a non-romantic or sexual way)
The fact that so many think his admiration is romantic and sexual makes me think so many people are perverts.

There's a difference between being stalked and being followed.
In order to be stalked, the "stalkie" must actually feel threatened by the "stalker's" presence. The law is defined by the person's reaction.
That's why there's no such thing as being "unknowingly stalked"

If a person is not threatened by a person following them, then they are not stalked and nothing can be legally done to stop it. It's not against the law to follow a person who doesn't mind being followed.

You may now believe that Bella was stupid for not being threatened by being followed by a guy who was trying to protect her, but that's all on you.

The reason I think Jacob's admiration is romantic and/or sexual is because of the word soulmate. A soulmate (or soul mate) is believed by some to be the person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity, similarity, love, sex, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or compatibility. And even if Jacob does not press the issue till the child is older he is still 20 yrs older and he will have been like an uncle to her while she grew up. I would not feel comfortable if one of mine or my husbands good friends suddenly showed an interest in one of our daughters and I defiantly would not encourage it. I do not think I am a pervert in thinking there is something wrong with Jacobs feelings for Bella's child, but I might be seeing something more sinister there then is really going on. Now when it comes to the Edward situation, how do you know she did not mind being followed? She did not even know at first and what was he protecting her from? Seems to me her life did not become threatened until he came into her life. So is it okay for a guy to "follow" a woman and invade her privacy as long as he says it was love and he was just doing it to protect her? I am not trying to start a fight or anything but i would just hate for some guys to get it into their heads after seeing girls reaction to twilight that it is okay to stalk a girl as long as you say that you were just protecting her.

I don't believe soulmates have anything to do with sex or romance either. I know Bella wasn't bothered by being followed because she never said she was. I said stalking is defined by the person being followed, not the words the follower uses. If the person being followed isn't bothered, it's not stalking. If she's bothered and feels harassed, and the defenition of harassment fits the situation, it's stalking, regardless of his feelings.

Thank you for your input and after having this conversation I do not have strong feelings of disgust toward Jacob anymore, but I still have no desire or interest in this series. Thank you for your perspective on this subject .

I totally agree.............in that story the only aim of Bella's life seems to be falling in love. No educational dreams, no career dreams! No dreams at all! How boring!

She did seem to be completely focused on Edward and that focus seemed to consume her whole life.

The reasons above were just some of the reasons I do not like Twilight. I have not actually read the books and I have no desire to after finding out these things and after watching the first movie.

I´m not Eddikins fan (or hater, poor guy is a bore), but Edward is a vampire, vampires do much worse than stalk, so his behaviour does not bother me - it´s kinda the point. For a vampire, Eddikins is actually pretty benevolent. If it had been Lestat or Dracula or anyone else, Bella would have been neck-raped. One of my favorite vampire stories is Theophile Gautier´s Clarimonde about mad obsession between young priest and a vampiress, who drugs him and drinks his blood by night. That´s the whole no-wrong-no-right madness of their situation. I have not read Breaking Dawn.

I DO! To be a bed intruder you must
a. climb through windows
and b. snatch your people up
Edward climbed up Bella's window for months watching her sleep. Step 1: complete. He has taken Bella out of her bedroom numerous times. Therefore--Edward is indeed a bed intruder and Twilight fans might think it's romantic (eye roll) but you MUST hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband.
and Jacob's case...was just plain...sick. that's a new low Meyer, seriously.
