Thank you so much for your reply ^. I truly appreciate it.

I'm glad that you're a fan of Renesmee....I don't dislike her...I just have trouble identifying with the character. I can sort of deal with human aspects...because I'm one....and I sorta even see the vampires view on things to a certain extend (thanks to reading Meyer's explanations). But Rensmee confuses me. I don't think that she ever ate food at Charlie's in the book. I don't recall her ever eating in the movies...human food or blood.

BUT...Renesmee DID go hunting in the forest of Forks in the book. She even had contests with Jacob to see who could get the first or biggest kill. Yes. She was this teeny weenie little hunter that moved through the forest in an instant searching for her prey.

Meyer says although the Cullens do their best to be good....that they're monsters and that's the way they all should be viewed...and although I like the Cullens...I view them as the author says to view them...as monsters.

I guess I want to view Renesmee as something more than a half "monster'. BUT being that she was born a 'little' adult....will be grown by seven...could walk and talk by a few weeks old....goes on actual blood HUNTS herself (although she does only kill animals).

It's also odd that a 'child' has no empathy towards animals. Almost all children love animals...and cried during "Bambi". Yeah...Over time some of us lose this empathy...because humans do kill and eat animals.

However, most small children don't run out in the woods and kill them. Even the ones that might would have a part of them that feels guilty for killing an animal. If you took your kid to the petting zoo...you wouldn't expect your kid to want to eat the animals. Renesmee WOULD have a desire to kill and drink them. She might hold it back...like she does the desire to drink humans.

But I think a type of innocence is lost with Renesmee...since she was never actually a child. I still see a picture in my mind of Renesmee still stalking the forest for her prey...at just a few weeks old, mind you.

Then there was the fact that the first time she met Charlie...they had to explain to Renesmee that he was NOT meant to be food...although he smelled like food. That just kinda creeped me out. What was creepier was that Bella also hungered to drink her own father (gross). The book even goes into how tasty and yummy Charlie smells to Bella....much better than the humans that she first smelled when Edward first took her hunting. I know that neither one gave in to their natural cravings...but still...it continues to be creepy to me. I still like the Twilight Saga and consider myself a huge fan. I could just never get over the weird feeling that Renesmee gives me. :(
