Why does everyone hate Jacob Black so much?

Can someone please help me understand all this animosity? I would understand if people liked Edward better than Jacob because Edward is awesome too. But a lot of people like HATE Jacob, and I don't get why. I mean you're entitled to your opinion and all that, but just..can someone give me a good, logical reason?

    Other than him being a pup I wouldn't understand either.

    I see it that many people always compare him with Edward. They state that he's immature, but can you blame the guy since he's still a teenager and has to deal with so much in his life? People fail to realize that Edward is way older than Jacob. Of course he's mature! But Jacob takes in things differently than Edward.

    Jacob is very misunderstood and if people gave him a chance, they would probably like him. (They need to understand his side of the story)

    -Bella/Edward: He's not getting in the way of it. I feel like he was forced into it. Sure it's not Bella's fault. After Edward left, she went and visited Jacob and they became better friends. Both were not asking for it, it just happened. Many hate him simply for trying to steal Bella away from Edward. He doesn't do much til Eclipse when he tries to prove to her that she loves him back. (She just couldn't accept it til the end when she was able to see her life with him.) That's all he ever wanted to do and he did love her. (You just can't control love, you fight for it. That's what I admire about him.)

    -His attitude. Well that's what happens when you become a werewolf. He became kind of like a different person. They seem all like that except for Seth and a few others. I also can't blame his sarcastic ways throughout Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I think that he tries to hide the pain he holds inside and acts like nothing is wrong. So to cover that pain he's very sarcastic and I guess sometimes mean. Then again I see through him.

    -There are many good things about Jacob that no one realizes. Like the fact that he helped Bella be able to smile again. (Before she hardly was able to live, he helped her look forward to getting up in the morning and hang out.) His intentions are good, but very misunderstood because of his actions. He was willing in Breaking Dawn to leave Sam's pack to go protect Bella. He was willing to step down of Edward and Bella's relationship as soon as he became satisfied and the truth was revealed to Bella. (If you know something is true involving that person, you should tell that person the truth and make them realize it. That's what he did.) He and Bella are best friends. He knows her very well, like Edward does. ^^

    Wow I highly agree with Edward above me. I think the reason why almost everyone hates Jacob is probably because he's always in Edward's and Bella's relationship. Like he told Bella's dad that Bella rode a motorcycle, and the purpose for that was to get Bella grounded and not see Edward. He's like a flaw or something to them (Mind that I haven't read Eclipse yet). I know. Jacob's more realistic, but Edward is that kind of character that will take gazillions of girls' breath away for his impossible abilities. Oh, but Jacob could turn into a werewolf...

    Because they are in love with Edward's perfection and hate that Jake is jeopardizing Bella's 'perfect relationship' with him. A lot of people hate his personality- he can be ride arrogant and ignorant. Some people were frustrated when he tricked Bella into kissing him & the sleeping bag scene (they thought he was trying to steal Bella from Edward. Also the fact Charlie was on his side annoyed people... Edward was merely misunderstood) They mainly hate him because at one stage, he officially wanted to compete, not sure if thats the right word, with Edward- who everyone loves. I feel a bit bad for Jacob sometimes...

    I don't think that many people hate him, it's just so many people LOVE Edward. I have to say, Edward is my favorite character but not because I'm madly in love with him and want to have his babies. I just like his personality, the way he handles being a vampire, and how he fights in battles.

    Seeing as I like Edward so much then Jacob is like a threat. I like Edward and Bella's relationship and in the second book Jacob comes into that (accidentally) and as a fan of Edward I didn't want him to.

    I liked Jacob a lot in the second book but once he became a werewolf he got so moody and angsty that I couldn't stand him anymore, I missed his sense of humor.

  • People hate because they think hes tearing apart Bella and Edward. which i STRONGLY disagree. I love him more than Edward (team jakeward for the record) because Edward is too perfect. Jacob is partly human and acts human.. and not perfect, which i really like alot. And I think hes really sweet too:).

    Source(s): -my opinion-
  • I personally don't mind that he loves bella... but i think edward deserves her more; he was ready to let jacob have her if that would be what made her happy. i think edward cares so much more about her happiness, whereas jacob only loves her, and wouldn't give her up, even if it was what made her happy. example: the whole story! he knew that bella was happy with edward, but he wanted his own personal happiness and tried to destroy their love so that HE could be happy. edward was ready to give her to jacob if it would make her happy. see the difference?.....

    I also hated how he rated on bella about the motorcycle thing. she trusted him, and he only wanted HIS happiness, so he told charlie so that she would be away from edward, her TRUE love. GOD i hate him so much, that ignorant, arrogant, selfish, ugly (on the inside) person!!!

    or werewolf...

    what REALLY bothered me with jacob was that. but there is another equally strong reason; he acted like he was renesmee's parent, not bella and edward. i know, i know "he imprinted on her! he cant help it!!". but he is soo mean! he doesn't care about bella anymore; whenever he looks in her direction, it is at renesmee, not at poor bella. when something bad happens to them both, his first question would probably be: "is renesmee alright?" like, seriously!!! renesmee is BELLA AND EDWARD'S DAUGHTER, NOT JACOB!!! he acts like she

    is all his, not bellas and edwards. it is soo unfair towards bella and edward, renesmee's TRUE parents!! i hate, hate, hate, hate, hate , hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate (hate times a billion billions) him!!!!

    i totally hate him, and i think that bella had TOTAL right to attack him!!! she should hate him too!! he is rude, selfish, ignorant, arrogant, and i hate hate hate him!!!!

    ok i hope i explained well enough!!!

    bye!!!

    I don't know. Maybe because his skin doesn't sparkle like Edward's. I personally love Jacob. I'm so glad Edward left in New Moon because it got me to know Jacob more.

    Becaus he's a pedophile who has no personality? Oh, oh! And he fell in love with a pathetic Mary Sue, then claimed it was only because the loch ness monster was an egg inside of Bella, but then since the other half was in Edward, wouldn't Jacob be in love with Edward as well? He's pathetic and he sucks. Plus, he became generic whenever the loch ness monster came.
