In the book Breaking Dawn what does it mean when Jacob imprints on Bella's daughter?

Answer 1

It means that Jacob like looked at Renesmee and saw the love of his life. Like Quil and Sam and some other people in the pack, they never find another love. The person they imprint on is the only person they will love.

Edit:

That could be true, but Jacob himself explains what exactly imprinting is in one of the books. Imprinting happens upon first meeting. Once a werewolf sees that certain person, they are completely devoted to them, this is why Leah Clearwater was hurt by Sam Uley (Sam was in love with Leah but imprinted on another woman). However, imprinting does not necessarily have to be on the basis of love. Though feelings of love may develop, a person who imprints becomes whatever the imprintee (I don't think that's a real word) needs them to be. A friend, a brother, a lover, or even a nanny. Quil could grow up to marry Claire, but at the moment she is only two so Quil acts as a babysitter and a big brother to her. It's the same as Ren, Jacob is like an uncle or brother to her right now.

Edit Edits:

Well and Jacob explains in the book imprinting as like gravity moves, and like nothing else in the world matters except her. You would do anything for her, become anything for her.

Edit 3: It says in the summary for each character, that he becomes an older brother figure to her. So it doesn't always mean like a boyfriend- girlfriend love.

Quick v:

Once they begin phasing, a werewolf may "imprint"-a method of finding one's soulmate-on someone, and will act as whatever the imprintee needs, whether it be a protector, a lover, or an older sibling. Jacob imprints on Edward and Bella's daughter Renesmee in as an older sibling and MAYBE lover when she is older.

Well in the sense all of these things you are all saying is true but Jacob loves Bella as well as Renessame so when an answear comes on why both of them then yes

Answer 2

"Imprinting" is a permanent link between a werewolf and their "soul mate." For Jacob, despite the age difference between him and Renesmee, he is linked to her for the rest of his life. All he wants now is to make her happy, and eventually (hopefully) they will be together forever.

Answer 3

It means that he will do anything to protect her. Like what Edward said in the movie "...she cant be hurt..." thats because he imprinted. A little bodyguard or guardian almost if you ask me. hope that helps:)

Answer 4

"Imprinting" is something the werewolves do. 'its a wolf thing'. it means they fall in love with the person the have imprinted on in first sight
