There are both positive and negative consequences from rebellion. In the novel Bella is going through a hard time coping with Edward’s loss and so in rebellion she units herself with Jacob. One of the negative consequences that comes from her attachment to Jacob is the miscommunication that they can only be friends. Jacob thinks that they can be more that this but Bella knows that this is not possible. One time when Jacob expresses this emotion Bella thinks to herself “I wanted to cut my tongue out. I hadn’t said one word that was a lie, but I should have lied. The truth was wrong, it would hurt him. I would let him down.” (218) This is one of the negative consequences that comes from Bella’s attachment to Jacob because she is rebelling Edward’s loss.
There are also positive consequences however to this rebelling of Bella’s. One of the positive consequences would be that Bella is not moping as her father, Charlie thinks that she did inbetween Edward and Jacob. This would be the instant gratification of Bella’s friendship with Jacob. One time Charlie asks Bella subconsciously “Is he(Jacob) coming here, or are you going there?” (330) Because Bella and Jacob spend so much time together Charlie just assumes that that is what Bella is up to. There are both positive and negative consequences to Bella’s rebellion of Edward’s loss.
