Jared isn't always mad -- he was when he first saw that mel's body had been taken over by wanda. he's just stubborn -- and jake is just an ass when he's mad.

the kiss was different, as well. bella was doing it so that jake wouldn't go, and he did, but wanda wanted it so that she could find melanie again. but jake was hinting to bella about the kiss, and wanda just went for it.

I think they are alike in so many different ways like for ex. when they are angry as well as their body temp. and their personality.

i think the host and teilight are very similar because in both stories you find a love triangle and one of the is impossible but the characters and their feelings are very different, in the host they're more complex than in twilight

i agree with u on the part where jared acts like jacobs angry side but the kissing in eclipse was actually a lie that jacob came up with 2 make bella kiss him but ian and wandas 2nd kiss was not started by a lie it was 2 make someone come back

Exactly. Stephenie likes to use her character's personalities over again, and Jared (when he's not being sweet, like at some points in the book) has the same personality as the angry Jacob we all know and hate.
