I must admit, I am a fan of Rose. i think that the way she treated bella wasnt exacty fair, however, I have a real soft spot for her, I think she is a little misunderstood. I think there is a lot more to Rosalie than meets the eye and you have to read and re-read most of the parragraphs about her story toget the real meaning behind them.

As for Emmett’s feelings for her: Its quite obvious that Rosalie is a bit of a Pessimist and Emmett is an optamist (spelling?). They are complete opposits in a way, but I think that is one of the reasons behind it. If Rosalie was on her own she would be alot more depressed andnever have a laugh, but because Emmett sees the good side of everything and is always laughing, he kind of completes her and vice verser. If Emmett was on his own, he is kind of one of those people who launches into things with out thinking, but because rosalie is there she can protect him and hold him back. I think for this and many other reasons they are the perfect couple. Rosalie and Emmetts relationships and actual characters have always fasinated me so i have studied them quite hard. I wish stephanie meyer would bring out some books, just about Jalice and Rosamett, just so we can see what she really thinks of them and how she would describe ther true relationships and characters.

Well, I just don’t like Rosalie. I mean, come one, give Bella a chance! I think she just needs to mind her own buisness. Rosalie took Emmett’s human life away. She didn’t mind, but nooo, when Bella wants to become a little vampire, Rose is out. I don’t like Rosalie. Period.

I mean, Stephanie never really says why Emmett needs Rosalie, but I have a feeling that behind the scenes, Rosalie’s a really great person, a better person than Meyer characterized her as. Like she’s got more than just beauty and “pigheadedness.”

I am a fan of Rosalie. I think she can relate to any person who is looking upon someone they love as they make mistakes. At first you get the idea that she hates Bella, but later you find that the reason she is so hostile is because she, in a way, loves Bella. Why else would Rosalie be so affected by Bellas want/need to be a Vampire. Rosalie sees the life Bella could have as a human, and because Bella is “taking it for granit,” Rosalie is extremely bothered by it. I undestand how it feels to have someone i love so much not listen to my advice, and so the natural feelings that follow are anger.

I think Emmett knows how much heart Rosalie has. Especially how much emotion she puts into the Bella & Edward situation. Emmett can see that all she wants to do is help other’s around her, such as himself. She would go through so much trouble and emotions to help Emmett, that now he has that special connection that no one else will ever have with Rosalie.

Q.Do you (personally) like Rosalie?

A.I don’t like her at all.I’ve read all the books and she has a valid point on why, if she had the option she wouldn’t change but….I dunno there is just something I don’t like maybe it’s the fact that’s she is so “pigheaded” because she didn’t like Bella just because Edward liked Bella and not her, even though she personally doesn’t like Edward as anything more then a brother so I’m kind of like “JEEZ!get over it ,so one guy isn’t attracted to you, It’s not like you’re not the center of the universe!” You know?

Q.Why do you think Emmett loves Rosalie so much?

A. I think he likes her because she saved him and she’s pretty…..I dunno maybe there is something else he sees in her but…..I don’t really see anything.She doesn’t really have that much of a personality(or so I think)and all I’ve ever really…seen of her is jealousy, “pigheadedness” and the only time I’ve ever really seen her be kind(in some way) to Bella is when she had finished telling Bella about her past and that lasted about a millisecond!

I do not hate Rosalie, I never have. At the beginning of the books I was sortof like “What’s your deal?” but I always wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I knew there had to be something more than the haughty, vain girl that we saw only through the filter of Bella’s eyes. That’s because she was obviously loved by her family, and especially Emmett. They wouldn’t love her if she was as shallow as she sometimes appears. I think Rose is a very loyal person, and also very passionate although we rarely see that side of her.
As for the Rose/Emmett relationship, I think it definetly started with a physical attraction. Rosalie saw Emmett for the first time and was attracted by his curly hair and dimples, and Emmett saw Rose and thought she was an angel! After Emmett was changed, it obviously blossomed into true love. We know that Rose was having a really hard time with her new life, and was probably very depressed. And then along comes cheery, playful, optimistic Emmett, who became like her sun. Her own source of light and joy. It is harder to see where Emmett is coming from. I think that all we can say for sure about why he loves her, is that there is something much deeper to her that we can’t really see. Emmett can see it, because she lets him, because she loves him.

I think Rosalie is jealous and vain.
Even though she tries to help Bella, I think her real motives are about attention and everyone is so focused on Bella. But I think that her and Emmett’s relationship is real and it’s strong. They are soulmates and its obvious.

I do not hate Rosalie, but I think she doesn’t understand Bella the way she thinks she does. The reason that she hates being a vampire is that she wants to have the human experiences of finding someone who really loves her and having children…Bella has found that in Edward. They have such a strong connection that Bella is willing to sacrifice having children to be with him forever. It frusterates me that Rosalie dislikes Bella just because of the decision she is making, but I definitely do not hate her. I think that it is a possibility that maybe vampire love is different than human love? The connections between Alice and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, and Esme and Carlisle seem very similar. It seems to me that they have a connection somewhat like imprinting, though not nearly as strong or bonding. It appears to me that once they meet the person they are supposed to be with, they do not really have the choice to leave them. I think that this is why Emmett and Rosalie are together.

I think Rosalie and Emmett need each other, just like Jasper and Alice. I think Emmett knows that Rosalie is conceited but she loves him so he ignores that. They complete the missing part in each others lives. Emmett makes Rosalie happy even though she hates being a vampire. We don’t know what goes on behind the closed doors with these two. Hopefully Edward’s version of Twilight will share more with us.

When I first read Twilight, my favorite character was Rosalie. I don’t know why, but I think it was either her name (So pretty) or the fact that Rosalie herself was so like… Me. I’m so… Cold sometimes. I know it sounds completely terrible, but I can be really mean, and I think it was a slight relief for a character not to really be the “Victim” or the antagonist, but a nice-mean person? Does that make sense? But then in Eclipse, when she had a really big part (when she told her story) I fell even more in love with her. Since I was little, I always wanted a baby. Now, I’m still a teen, but I could totally sympathize with her want for a baby, and how it was totally ripped from her grasp.

Emmett loves Rosalie because she’s Rosalie! Haha, and because she saved his life. Emmett and Rosalie balance each other out. Rosalie is serious and holds in *most* of her feelings. Emmett is playful and blunt. I could go into more detail, but I think I’ll let you ponder it. =D

It’s the vanity and egocentrism that I personally, unfortuantly, can relate too.

In her own way, Rosalie is looking out for Bella. She wants her to move on, live a full life, and to be happy, but without being a vampire.

But at the same time, she could be very jealous of Bella. Bella is obviously special, who knows what kind of powers she’ll have if she ever turns into a vampire. This may sound a little silly but she could also feel territorial because she’s the beautiful one. I know, I know they’re all freaking gorgeous but that’s her thing. She was the pretty one when she was alive, and now she’s the pretty one when she’s dead. A lot of the guys in town like Bella and find her very attractive, but imagine how she’ll look once she’s turned!

But also, if Bella is turned by Edward, I kind of got the impression that they would take off on their own. But maybe not.

Oh, here is another strange thing that just came to me. Obviously, we all know that Bella is a danger magnet. Trouble follows her wherever she goes. Maybe this is Rosalie’s way of keeping her own family safe. By keeping Bella out and away from Edward, the Cullen clan can life almost normal lives.

Now, I think Emmett loves Rosalie simply because she saved him. He’s not a dumb guy, but he’s definitely not brilliant. Emmett is the big muscle-y, footballer dude and she is his glorious trophy.

Stacy M. I read your paragraph and it is beautiful. Kudos to you. I have something to add to the motherly instinct. I am not dissing Emmet and Rosalie at all with this. I love the characters as if they were my own. But Rosalie is stabbing herself in the back with the fact that she is with Emmet. This is just me thinking but I wonder if she is reminded about what she couldn’t have every time she sees Emmet and that is why she can’t let go. Lets face it. All of us have had dreams that are never going to be reality. All of us have let go of those ( I have in my case) on occasions and yes, her’s is a harder one than most people’s but, I feel sad for her that she is always constantly reminded of what she can’t have. Her story is very hard to understand and I really hope we get some more insight on that!

I never understood Rosalie’s hostility towards Bella in the first book, and because of that I didn’t like her. But when I heard her story in Eclipse I felt so bad for her. She was forced into this life that she never wanted and was unable to have kids or live a human life. I’m so glad she found and saved Emmett. I think that they live in their own world together and have a real love towards one another

I really did not like Rosalie at first. The comment she made to Edward when they are in the house when james is hunting her. “why should I!?” really wasn’t nice. Now I have a profound respect for her. I think her story is one of the saddest because of the things her sub concious wanted yet she never knew she wanted. Though yes, I think she is self conceited and I think that she should maybe not be so angry with Bella with her choice considering a big part of that is that she wants Bella to think about kids. Isnt that a moot point anyway considering she wants to be with Edward for the rest of his and her existence, doesnt that mean she cant have kids? Edward already is a vampire. Anyway so to make a long story short, I feel that Rosalie makes a good point but should not be as harsh as she is to Bella.

As for Rosalie and Emmet. I can honestly say that Emmet trully loves her and she loves him. A few points from Eclipse. When emmet and Jasper track Bella’s “visitor” Rosalie is intensley waiting for him to come back. Plus before the wolf pack comes in the equation of destroying the vampire army, Emmet wants to go to Seattle and she hisses which leads me to believe she was no happier about Emmet going to Seattle as Bella was about Edward and possibly for the same reasons. I think that their love is special though I cant say if it is as strong as Edward and Bella’s or Alice and Jasper’s because frankly, Stephenie Meyer has not gone into much detail about them( I hope she will in Breaking Dawn).

Rosalie is there to remind us, as readers, in a very real way that not everyone’s life experience is the same. There are some people who get stuck, who would not choose. She is Bella’s foil. We see her as an opposing reflection. I think she is also there to remind us that what Bella is choosing might not be the best thing for her. That it will be difficult and dangerous. That she might not even like it. She and Jacob encompass the alternative, what else Bella could choose, and without them what would be the point of carrying on the book so long. Her changing to a vampire would almost be a mut point. So, in so many words, I like Rosalie because I see her importance within the story structure. As a character, I feel that Rosalie has a great deal of knowledge and understanding to bring to Bella and her experiences, a voice of discent to make her think about her actions.
I feel that Emmett loves Rosalie because of her past. She is someone to be protected and probably enjoys someone to look after her when no one would in her human life. He has a strength that her human husband lacked. A knight in shining armour thing. He also, as someone has said, feels lucky that he chose her out of everyone else to be her mate. There is something to be said about being chosen as the one by someone like Rosalie who could have chosen anyone at any time in human history.

At first, I didn’t like Rosalie that much because she is the person everyone wants to be, especially Bella, and she’s self centered, rude, and she doesn’t even know Bella, yet she glares at her and totally hates her. Then, I realized what she’s been through, and I can sympathize and understand her view point. To me, she’s still not even close to ranking up there with everyone else, but I like her a little bit more.

I think Rosalie and Emmet love each other so much because they are total opposites. I’ve notices that opposites attract, and people who are totally alike can’t stand eachother. Plus, Emmet is Rosalie’s last thread to hanging on to her former life (little Henry), and Rosalie is Emmet’s angel. She saved him, she’s beautiful, and she’s exactly what Edward is to Bella. Even though their relationship is more physical, there is something very deep and strong between them.

I just wanted to add that Emmett seems to be a very easy going fun loving guy. Rosalie seems to be the opposite. I think that the relationship that they have is evenly balanced. Emmett would just as well jump off a cliff into an ocean of newborns in the middle of a tornado, hurricane and forest fire combined, as Rosalie is to sit at home and just study lessons and be a quiet person.

But Emmett keeps Rosalie smiling and having a bit of fun every now and again just as she is keeping him safe and not doing so many random, stupid, and dangerous things.
THat is all!!! BYE!!

I personally like Rosalie because even though she is nasty as heck to Bella, She protects Bella and eventually turns into a “friend” to Bella.

She also is very trusting of a person, once they earn her trust. She told Bella her story and that doesn’t seen like something she or anyone talks about with fond remembrance. She seems like she doesn’t want to be hurt because of a mistake or someone to be hurt because of her family. To me that is one of the reasons she steers clear of Bella is to not hurt her.

I also think that she wants Bella to know everything she is getting into if she becomes a vampire. She tells her what it is like during the change or rather gives some more insight to it then Bella orginally got.

i really like rosalie. although there are times that she would get on your nerves. i admire her in eclipse cause she explained to bella how she thinks and gave her her story. i also admire her knowing that she never tasted human blood before, we know how hard it is for vampires since their instinct tells them to drink more blood.

i honestly think deep inside she likes bella. the only thing she doesnt like about bella is her desire to be one of them. on eclipse we get to see a vulnerable side of her.. she tells us how she would love to have a family with emmet but that is already impossobe for them to happen.

i just though of this.. in midnight sun if stephenie meyer were to kill one of her vampires i think it would be rosalie. i thought of this because rosalie wants her freedom from thirst..and the only way she could get that is by dying… i’ll feel bad for emmet also…so i hope nobody dies in the whole series.
