Stephenie MeyerOdd as this might sound, I suppose I’m glad you’re here, Jacob. [Edward Cullen]
About This Quote
Edward's first name is Jacob, and he was also a vampire. This connection between them is ironic because Edward and Jacob both represent the opposing sides of what it means to be human: one: a thirst for blood and an obsession with life; and two: a thirst for life and an obsession with blood. When Edward says, "I suppose I'm glad you're here, Jacob," he's referring to the fact that Jacob has made such an effort to live as a human, even though he is a vampire. He'd rather be human than be like Edward, who is obsessed with his thirst for life…and blood.
