Why did Jasper go so crazy over Bella's paper cut?īella was Edward's 'singer,' and every vampire has one. Stephanie Meyer tried to answer this question on her website, explaining that unlike the other vampires powers, Jasper's power is actually affecting Bella physically by adjusting her pulse and endorphins to calm her down.Why is Jasper's power the only 'science-based' power then while the rest are supernatural, though? Considering the fact that Jasper could alter her physically, couldn't Jane have just as easily inflicted pain by manipulating nerve endings? And Zafrina could have manipulated the optic nerves.ĥ. But accepting all this, the question is: Why could Jasper change Bella's emotions? After all, wouldn't manipulating her emotions technically be messing with her mind? Alice could to see her future, though, because Bella's future happens outside the mind. That's why Edward and Aro couldn't read her mind, Jane couldn't make her feel pain (it was only creating the illusion of pain), and Zafrina couldn't make her see visual projections she was able to make everyone else see. Why can Jasper manipulate Bella's emotions?īella's mind shield is able to block any vampire power that affects her brain. Both would have been much more efficient options. Why didn't Edward just pick a fight with the Quileute tribe by breaking their treaty instead of traveling all the way to Volterra, Italy to 'expose' himself as a vampire in front of the Volturi? Then there's the fact that fire kills vampires. Vampires were killed all the time by other vampires and the werewolves. And why did Edward have to travel all the way to Volterra to reveal himself anyway?! If Edward had stepped into the sunlight in Volterra, most humans would have simply wondered if some pale guy had doused himself in a bunch of craft store glitter, not assumed he was a vampire.ģ. So as far as anyone who wasn't a vampire was concerned, a vampire getting hit by sunlight would burst into flames, not sparkle like a glittery disco ball. The thing is, in the Twilight universe, most people believed the standard widely-held vampire myths. Which is what a depressed Edward does in New Moon, to try to force the Volturi to kill him. We get that it's against Volturi law for vampires to be noticed in open sunlight lest they be seen by humans sparkling and thereby, expose themselves as vampires.
