Author's Note: This is my piece proving that I have a clear understanding of character analysis
In the middle of the series “Twilight”, by Stephenie Meyers, the main character Jacob Black(werewolves) had a very strong hatred for the Cullens (vampires). There has always been feud between the vampires and werewolves. They’ve always been complete opposites, the wolves are warm blooded and the vampires are known as the “cold one’s”. But through out the series the begin to realize that they need to team up to protect Bella. And in these difficult situations Jacob begins to comprehend that his wolf pack and Edward’s coven work together really well, even though he was a blood sucking vampire. But as Jacob began giving his trust to Edward, they figure out that they both want the best for Bella. These are a few of the reasons why Jacob changed during the series.
Through out the series, everyone started seeing Jacobs attitude towards the Cullens change when he began to worry about Bella’s safety more and more. He was becoming to understand that they both want similar things. But if Jacob wasn’t cooperative and refused to bury the hatchet with the Cullens, it would affect the entire series. Some of problems they would face would be Bella wouldn’t be as heavily monitored and that cause the outcome of her getting ambushed by enemy vampires. But since he did build up a certain amount of trust with Cullens, they had the capability of beating their opponents(as in the Cutlery, evil vampires). If he would kept the same attitude during the series the hatred, anguish, and unforgivable behavior would have continued. And they wouldn’t have made such an impact.
Not only had his attitude changed towards the Cullens, he also changed his thoughts towards Bella’s boyfriend Edward. Once the wolf pack started to see Jacob’s attitude change the others started realizing that Edward and the vampires weren’t as bad and evil as people made them out to be. But when they started getting along more there alliance began growing stronger. And now Edward and Jacob don’t have to be so tense constantly now they're comfortable with each others presents.
This kind of alteration from selfish boy into responsible man not only occurs in the Twilight series. It is quite similar to the main character in the story The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, because Edmund starts out as selfish boy who only worries about himself but as life gets more difficult he comes to the understanding that he need to fight and protect the things he loves the most. Although his change in the story is more drastic than Jacob’s they both change for the best.
Those are just some of the reasons how Jacob changed through out the story. But overall Jacob made those changes to create better self image. And it definitely paid off in the long run. Now he allies when he needs them. And now he knows that people won’t try to threaten Bella because she is protected by an unbeatable alliance of the strongest vampires and werewolves
