Okay, we know that Rosalie is a real ... well, you know ... in fact, you've just left me a review on a little story from her perspective that I've written telling me exactly what she is.
That Rosalie.
She's just so difficult and just really a pain in the ... well, you know ... to be around or to have a conversation or to coerce into agreeing to a course of action ...
R: "But that's just wrong! Have you considered that ..."The irony of it all? She's always right about the problems coming up, but nobody every acknowledges that or thanks her.
Everybody: "Rosalie, just shut up, okay? We're trying to get this done here!"
R: "Even if it's wrong, and I'll never agree to it?"
Everybody: "YES!"
R: "Hm. Associating with a human girl? Doesn't anybody else see a problem here?"... then James, then the Volturi, show up.
Everybody: "NO! For crying out loud, Rosalie, give it a rest! Sulky Edward's happy ... finally! Besides what could possibly happen?"
When did anybody ever say: "Hey, Rosalie was right all along! Maybe we should listen to her next time"?
No, they don't say that. They say: "Hey, let's turn Bella before she has a baby, because ... how could she have one, anyway?"
Then the baby is on its (her, in this case) way. And Rosalie says, "I'm standing by Bella on this one, too. I don't care if I have to stand against the whole world: I'm standing by what's right."
And everybody's furious because Rosalie, again, is standing in the way of what everybody wants to do to Bella and the baby: a baby that nobody wants ... besides Bella, but who cares about what she wants, anyway? She's just a stupid human after all.
A baby that nobody wants ... that is, until the baby shows up. Do they thank Rosalie then?
No. "Oh, Rosalie's hogging the baby, playing mommy ... when do I get my turn?"
Rosalie.
What a pain in the ...
Why does she always have to block what we want to do?
Why is she such a bitc-... well, you know.
Why is she always right?

Totally agreed. The readers' first impression of Rosalie is that she's a monster B, because she's so hostile to Bella-wella and the poor human doesn't understand why. But there WAS a reason -- a really good reason -- and no one, ever, ever acknowledges that.
I really would've like to have seen that developed more, rather than the author deciding to suddenly twist Rosalie's hostility into jealousy over Bella's humanity and her ability to have a stupid baby.
Hey, there's another instance where Rosalie was right -- that Bella should not be changed into a vampire. And NOT so that she could one day have a stupid baby, but to keep her precious mortality so she could one day pass on to the next life.
There, that's what I think.
"Why is she always right?"
Hmm...sounds like Real Life.
Alright, this one is partly for LiLa and you, geophf.
Yes, Rose was right a few times. What kind of story would it be if she was wrong one hundre percent of the time? Not a very adult one at that. Besides, even monster b**ches can still be right.
And I disagree, turning Bella into a vampire was the best thing to do. Because heaven is overrated. It's not like it has a no-vampires sign in it.
