Worst Female CharactersEmilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02509891266988043903noreply@blogger.comBlogger24125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-62406825179000849732014-03-20T21:50:14.457+00:002014-03-20T21:50:14.457+00:00(Before i start: My English is not the best, but i...(Before i start: My English is not the best, but i hope you understand it anyway.)<br />I only read 10,8, 2 and 1, ans i totally agree with you.<br />10- I always liked Kaniss and i always will, even through Mockingjay, because she tried (at least). But even if i like her, i can see your point and agree with you.<br /><br />8- I only read the first Book, but Rose annoyed the hell out of me. She was vain, egoistic and hypocrite. She always judged the people by her looks and told lies to tear Lissa and Christian apart. And one night she is making out with one guy (i think his name was Jesse zeklos) because he's hot and the next day she is 'oh-so' in love with Dimitri? She also always said/thought how hot she was. Also seeing smoking and drinking as cool...Gosh.<br /><br />2- Bella...i always hated her. Now, i don’t like the books either, but I did when I was younger.<br />She was so terrible. Thinking she’s ugly but having 3 boys swooning over her. Yeah, sure.<br />She and Edward were 1 year or so together when he left her and what did she? Crying for MONTHS and almost killing herself, because she “saw” him when she was in danger. She didn’t even care for her friends and family. Really...Buffy loved Angel too, but she still fought against him and killed him to save the world. She lost her mother, died (twice!), was turn out of heaven und betrayed by her friends. But she always got back on her feeds and continues fighting. <br />And Edward, well the whole sparkling thing is not my cub of tea, but Meyer at least tried to explain it, so ...whatever. What really bothered me is this whole stalking thing.<br />@ Hannah YES, watching her sleeping is NOT protecting. It’s stalking and not romantic in any way! It’s terrifying and a slap in the face of women, who suffer from stalking in RL.<br />And wouldn’t Alice saw it, if something were going to happened? And Edward could also watched her house from the distance(It is not better but...just saying). <br />The Edward/Bella relationship is also rather unhealthy. <br />If one would have dies, the other would have committed suicide? After knowing each other for one-two years? Breaking into her house? Following her? Get in danger to hear his voice? Seeing in each other the only reason to live?<br />Really, for me this is more obsession than love. By the way, i can’t even see a good reason why they are in love.<br />Okay. my rant is over now.<br /><br />1- I followed HoN till book 4but Zoey really deserves to be Nr.1.<br />Having 3 boyfriends and calling Aphrodite bitch or slut. Getting all super powers, being stupid like a brick. Yeah, not good material for a good heroine.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338019290325702776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-2926803521258358802013-08-08T16:36:42.137+01:002013-08-08T16:36:42.137+01:00Completely agree with the Bella Swan comments.

She's actually the primary reason I stopped reading that series at book five.<br /><br />I disagree on some of the others though. Katniss, Rose, and Bella mostly. I know a lot of people think Bella is annoying, but I really liked her in the book. I didn't like her in the movie though, definitely annoying there.<br /><br />♥ Sarah @ <a href="http://imlovingbooks.com" rel="nofollow">I'm Loving Books</a>Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441191010868988420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-30606236898592825462012-03-03T19:00:20.081+00:002012-03-03T19:00:20.081+00:00I so agree with Zoey being your most hated charact...I so agree with Zoey being your most hated character.

Like you, I loved her in the first and the second book, because she was strong and independent. But with the third I know what you mean, too. Of course it's not like all these things could have been done to her without any consequences on her character and on what she does, but she seemed a lot weaker to me than before. Nevertheless I think she wouldn't be on my top 10 list of annoying female characters though ;)<br /><br />But I totally agree with you on Bella Swan. Honestly. I love books with strong female characters, such as Hermione Granger or Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter. (I know, comparing these two series is not the best idea, but these were just the first two examples in my mind.) Bella is just too weak and too much in love. And it's not cool for so many teenage girls to see her as their role model. Love is a great thing and you should to a lot for it - just not forget about yourself and do ANYTHING. That's at least my opinion.<br /><br />On a different note, there is something on my blog for you. If you want, you can take a look at it over <a href="http://itishowyouarenot.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-won-liebster-blog-award.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend! :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138583446215341596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-91067120601739297172012-03-03T15:01:54.713+00:002012-03-03T15:01:54.713+00:00I know its your opinion, but there is no harm in a...I know its your opinion, but there is no harm in adding my own.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-92017907945141037492012-03-03T14:44:35.088+00:002012-03-03T14:44:35.088+00:00Sorry for offending you Hannah but I did put at th...Sorry for offending you Hannah but I did put at the bottom it's just my oppinion :0Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509891266988043903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-984540102862561132012-03-03T14:39:33.451+00:002012-03-03T14:39:33.451+00:00I totaly disagree about Bella Swan being an annoyi...I totaly disagree about Bella Swan being an annoying character. Also it isnt his fault that his skin sparkles, he didnt chose to become a vampire, Carslisle made him one. And he watches her sleep to protect her, as he finds her blood so appealing and other vampires find her blood mouthwatering (e.g. Laurent and James. And with Edward saving her, if you had the power would you save your soul mate? I certainly would! Also neither Edward or Jacob would be happy without her as Edward is her soul mate and Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, (which proves that neither would be happy without her) When she was "madly in love", you said she was depressed, well when people are in love, people act in different ways as both bella and edward are more serious than say sam and emily, as well as this Bella is alot more happier when she marries Edward. Also Bella is not too dependant on Edward, as Bella means the world to Edward and Edward is all Bella really wants so if she is incandescently happy with Edward, and she needs Edward. Also as her parents split up when she was little, she would not have had the most stable childhood as having 1 parent can really change how you grow up. Also i my opinion she is not weak as she has had to help Renee alot emotionally, which could of resulted in Bella having to mature alot faster than an average person so she would be more serious. With Bella always complaining about the weather, well who doesnt complain about the weather??? Finally for the teams, well for looks i am Team Jacob everytime, but with personality and romance i would have to say Team Edward (i find that going out with you best friends is really awkward),i personally prefer a guy that is more of a gentleman and really cares about my feelings, and i mean alot to him, and actually say "i love you" to my face, instead over the internet as if the person says it to you face they actually mean it and they are not just saying that because you are in a relationship with them. As well as this i think looks and height are not that important, but if the guy you are in a relationship with is rather handsome but shorter then you, then so be it, because after all in a relationship it is not about how you look, but you feelings toward one another. And can i just say before anyone says that the guy that i have just described is not likely to exist, well he does and just do happens to be my boyfriend (I love you Tom). So after reading this i hope some people (Emily) does not think that Bella Swan is a pathetic character, and i suppose at the end of the day she is just a figament of Stephenie Meyer's imagination.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-69939497587953244762012-03-03T13:55:20.032+00:002012-03-03T13:55:20.032+00:00Haha I'm sorry blogspot!Haha I'm sorry blogspot!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509891266988043903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-7178106558827089062012-03-03T13:20:18.745+00:002012-03-03T13:20:18.745+00:00This is impressive stuff.
