Jasper doesn't only control other people's emotions...but the emotions control him. This makes his power a double edged sword. Jasper went thru a HUGE depression when he hunted humans because he could FEEL what they FELT. It was a good thing when Alice showed up and took him to the Cullens to be vegetarians. Did Jasper love blood? Of course...but he always went thru a deep depression after hunting and killing humans.

But like I was saying, Jasper's gift works with him and against him. For example, remember in NEW MOON when he attacks Bella...over a drop of blood? I thought this pitiful and truly didn't understand why he was so danged weak. Then I read what really happened. When Bella cut herself....and exposed her blood...ALL seven of the vampires were suddently ravenous. They all smelled Bella's blood and were tempted by it. So, Jasper was tempted himself times seven...because he felt what his entire family was feeling...and that was blood lust. That's why Jasper attacked Bella
