Talk:Reasons Bella screwed everything up/@comment-90.224.132.182-20161220124710/@comment-29717419-20170123125052

Bella is a self-insert Mary Sue that is written in a such way so that anyone can take her place, so actually yes Edward and Jacob would have same feelings for someone like Leah, Lauren or Jessica.

And what consequences the story is literally written as wish fulfillment because Bella gets everything she ever wanted without doing any of the work&mdash;you can thank Breaking Dawn for that. She was supposed to give up Edward or Jacob&mdash;ended up with both in her life in the end. She was supposed to give up her human family&mdash;ends up with Charlie in her life in the end. She was supposed learn the struggles of being a vampire&mdadh;she ends up as miss perfect control with a flimsy excuse as to why. Those were all the consequences she was supposed to have because of her love and NONE OF THEM WERE MET. And let's not even get into the consequences she should have had from being in an abusive relationship&mdash;but she has none of them because the books romanticize his abuse.

The book would actually be as good, if not better, if it was love story centered around Leah, Jessica or Lauren (but moreso Leah) because then there would be actual obstacles and character growth to make it interesting. With Leah it would be an actual forbidden love story where she has to choose to go against her whole tribe or stick with them while being in love with both to give actual unpredictability as to who she'd choose and add in that she has an actual personality to grasp onto it's ten times better. Lauren and Jessica are pretty interchangeable, but again they have more of discernible personalities to grasp onto. It would be a whole lot more interesting for Edward to have to fight off his desire to kill either of them due to more than just blood lust, but inexplicably in love because he can see more than what's on the surface. There's literally nothing more to Bella than what is on the surface. And then it would be a lot more interesting to watch the differences with Jacob where he can accept their flaws and doesn't try to change them. What makes it even more interesting is that not everyone in the story would be treating them like the prized possession. That is a lot more compelling as love story than plain girl with no personality who only does things because the plot demands, and not because it's in character, has two guy and basically a whole town fawn over her.
