Emmett Cullen Character Analysis

Emmett is one of Edward’s adoptive brothers and a vampire. He’s in a relationship with Rosalie; sometimes the two of them pose as a young married couple and live apart from the rest of the Cullens. Emmett is handsome and graceful, like all vampires are. But he’s also very tall and muscular. Bella doesn’t get to know Emmett well over the course of the novel, but he shows himself to be good-natured, kind, and something of a jokester. Emmet finds himself caught between Rosalie and Edward in some ways. Emmett wants Edward to be happy and wants him to have a good, safe relationship with Bella. But he’s also loyal to Rosalie, who resents Bella and fears the possible consequences of having a mortal girl around.

“They’re all adopted. The Hales are brother and sister, twins—the blondes—and they’re foster children.”

“They look a little old for foster children.”

“They are now, Jasper and Rosalie are both eighteen, but they’ve been with Mrs. Cullen since they were eight. She’s their aunt or something like that.”

“That’s really kind of nice—for them to take care of all those kids like that, when they’re so young and everything.”

“I guess so,” Jessica admitted reluctantly […] “I think that Mrs. Cullen can’t have any kids, though,” she added, as if that lessened their kindness.
