Coming up with the deeper parts of chapter 6 is becoming something of a problem for me. it's the moment when alice gets jasper to tell her about It. It is supposed to represent the unknown monster inside of jasper. he's not sure what to call it in general, so he calls it It.
i like that fact that jasper nearly attacks alice. it's pretty cool to see an evil and dark, but sexy side come out of him. all the more better for him to stay away from bella in the future. he's not in control of his urges. Jasper is supposed to be the worst so I just tried to bring that little part out in this chapter. It’s a good way to show the way his vampiric hunger has changed him so much from the cool and confident Major of the Confederate Army to the taciturn and overly tense and depressed vampire he is in this story (and GOD was it fun).
i got pretty far last night and was so proud of myself. music really helps me write a lot of times...loosens thoughts so that things really flow when i write. but silence really helps the brain too.
You all might have noticed that there was a lot of stuff in here about light and dark. The darkness is that they’re all referring to in here is the It, which if it was kinna confusing, represents the monster side of Jasper. Yknow the evil and constantly hungry vampire part that Edward describes with red eyes in the first chapter of Midnight Sun? The It, or in other words the darkness, is something that Jasper fears and has very little control over. Hence the fact that he nearly attacks alice. It’s that fear that makes him unstable in a way, so that he has he unwittingly exposes his more vampiric traits. He’s so focused on keeping his hunger in check. It’s just not as much in check as he would like it to be.
Of course he’s been a vampire for much longer than Edward (who has better control than him), but Jasper is still not used to the company of humans. Luckily he’s only working the night shift so he doesn’t have to be around humans so much. he has been hunting them for a very long time with whatever clan he’s been living with (haha old habits die hard). But at this point he’s come to realize that he’s unhappy and that something in his life is missing. So he ventures out to find it and maybe make some changes in his lifestyle…that’s how he comes to meet alice!
He’d been a little hopeful until he killed Christian Petty out of anger. Then he realized that change was hopeless. Of course you can see in this chapter that alice convinces him to keep trying. Will he be able to keep in control…?
