AN. I am writing this story, for Theresa on Emo Earth. She hates Rosalie, and so I am putting an explaination for why I like Rose for her.
Rosalie Hale
Why I Like Rosalie Hale
Yes Rosalie does complain, but don't you see what she is going through? She is in a horrible situation that she never asked to be in. She was never given the option to become a vampire. The only thing that she ever wanted from her life is true love, and to have children, and though she got her true love, getting it meant that she had to give up the option to have children. No matter how much she loves Emmett, that can't make up for that empty feeling she has that always questions her choices. What if she had never agreed to marry Royce King, etc, etc.
She was willing to let Bella die for the baby, because she understood. 'You never appreciate something until it's gone'. That's how Rosalie felt. She understood that Bella was willing to die for the baby, because if she was able to have a baby, but she had to die to make it happen, then she would still take that chance. That if your life was all you could give to the one you loved, was it wrong to give it?
Rosalie hated Bella in the beginning, because honestly I would too. Bella was an outsider, just some insignifigant girl, and yet somehow she was able to win the heart of the one man that never even lusted over her, when she was so used to having every girl stare at her with envy, and every guy stare at her with lust, and then Edward comes along and he has no interest for her. Even though he wasn't her favorite person, she wanted to be lusted after, and it was unnatural for her, and then Bella comes along, and even though she is beautiful, Rosalie feels that Bella's beauty doesn't compare to her own. Then when Bella finds out how they became vampires, it didn't make sense to Rosalie that when Bella had the gift of being able to have a baby, and so many others, when Rosalie didn't that Bella was just throwing it all away like it was nothing.
Rosalie isn't that bitchy, she is bitter. If you were in her place, wouldn't you too? She isn't happy. She is just trying to make the best out of a horrible situation, that she can do almost nothing about.
Okay, a lot of people don't get this. Why was Rosalie so horrible to Edward when Bella "Died"? Don't you understand? Before, nothing was perfect, but nothing was absolutely horrible, but Rosalie liked it. Then Bella comes along, and no matter how much Edward says that she isn't, puts there existence into danger, on the edge. She unbalances it. Then Edward leaves Bella, and he becomes pracically catatonic, no longer playing the piano, won't hunt, won't listen to music, anything. So then when Rosalie hears that Bella had jumped off the cliff, she was happy. She never thought that it would drive Edward to go to the Volturi, because she didn't think that a vampire and a human could love each other so much. She thought that since Bella died, Edward would come home, and everything would be back to the way it was before Bella had showed up. She just wasn't thinking, about what it would do to Edward.
If you want a picture painted for you about the real Rosalie Hale, just read the chapter The Vote from New Moon(Chapter 24 Page 534). Rosalie's exact words when she voted 'no' to Bella being changed "Rosalie?" She hesitated, biting down on her full, perfect bottom lip. "No." I kep my face black and turned my head slightly to move on, but she held up both her hands, palms forward. "Let me explain," she pleaded. "I don't mean that I have any aversion to you as a sister. It's just that...this is not the life I would have chosen for myslef. I wish there had been someone there to vote no for me." I nodded slowly and then turned to Emmett. See? Don't you get it?
AN. This is surprisingly short for one of my rants. It didn't take that long. I really, really hope I was able to change some people's mind's about Rose. I think she's awesome, and I am going to write a story in her POV, and I am going to delete Shadows In Washington, formerly Cookies and Cream. I really hope you understand what I am talking about now.
