Yeah, insensitive is a great word to describe him.

yup...he's insensitive...but then again...though some of the stuff he does is terrible...I still feel for him...because seeing Mel after such a long time but knowing someone else is in her body and Mel might still be in her body too...that has to be traumatizing...so I think he wanted to know for sure all the stuff about Mel before he did anything else...or thought of anything else...so he overlooks a lot of Wanda's emotions...whereas Ian cares for Wanda and Mel is just part of the package...but he doesn't really care for her...so he takes care of Wanda's emotions and doesn't really care about Mel's...though he is more courtious...like he asks permission of Mel to be with Wanda and whatnot...

I like Jared a lot. I could picture my boyfriend acting like that were I taken over by a worm... soul. You can't blame him for being so insensitive, because most of the book he thought of Wanda as a leech that had taken his true love away from him. By Mel's memory, I am almost positive that he was blinded by his need to be with Mel again.
Besides, to see Melanie's body being used by someone else when it was the one thing she did not want to happen must have been hard.
It's like when your boyfriend, or girlfriend, has something traumatic happen to them and you can't do anything to make it better. He couldn't even hold her...
So... I like him.

It took a few chapters for Jared to grow on me, but he did. I think he's sweet.

Yea, I said it. Shoot me  Razz

He's insensitive, he's aggressive, he's stupid,... But then again, he's just human. And humans are imperfect.
I think he's fine. Not the best, but fine.

I don't think Jared is naturally insensitive.
He was hardened and no one ever asks to be hardened so I can't hold it against him.


Sick minds get off this forum, lol.

This is kind of random but I was just thinking...

Remember when Melanie wanted to have sex with Jared in the cabin but he told her no because he didn't want to get her pregnant? Well, I was thinking... they should have went ahead and done it anyway (and every night after for that matter) because didn't Melanie jump down an elevator shaft shortly afterward? There's your birth control XD

Ewww I don't like that. I loved that Jared had enough self control because he didn't wanna bring a baby into their world that he could wait... He is strong. XD

I doubt it. If the baby would have survived (yea right) they would have taken it out or let it die with Melanie. I don't think they'd ever insert a soul into a pregnant host. That would be.... cruel, lol. So it had no chance either way.

I don't know, the souls whole thing is not to destroy but to learn, I don't see them just killing a baby...

I do. I think they would see it as a 'damaged' host, or whatever they call them. One that can't be used. Either that or they would 'repair' it by extracting the fetus. Because inserting a soul into a pregnant host without it's consent wouldn't be fair and I doubt they'd just let the human run 'wild' until it gave birth.

Especially in Wanderer's case. She had it tough enough as it was. She didn't need all of the extra physical and emotional stress that comes along with bearing children.

I don't like Jared so much! He's a really big jerk. But I don't....HATE him! I just don't like him with Wanda. I like Ian with Wanda. I do like Mel with Jared, though. I don't know....It's so confusing!

for me it's 100% LOVE!! i LOVE Jared!! he's just my type of guy....NOt the hitting part....never.....but i look through his eyes and see his life gone, his love gone, his family gone.....i mean come on, anybody would be PISSED if your love died and then came back as a totally different being....ya i would be throwing punches too.  

i don't understand the hate for jared? his love for her is so pasionate...he hasn't let go of her since she got captured. i mean, her leaving him is kinda like the icing on the cake..with the whole Earth being invaded and that stuff.

DON'T GET ME WRONG!!! IM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT WANDA GOT TO FEEL LOVE FROM SOME ONE WHO LOVES HER BACK!!! THEIR LITTLE MOMENTS WERE SO SWEET.....ok i better stop talking now, sorry for little rant...  Embarassed
