What does imprinting people mean from twilight?

Answer 1

It's basically a rendition of "Love At First Sight" where, in Breaking Dawns case, Jacob sees the girl he wants to spend his life with. It doesn't necessarily mean in a sexual way. It could mean in a older brother way, fatherly way, best friend way, ect.

Whichever way the person the werewolf imprinted on wants in the werewolf, he will be.

(Ex. a werewolf imprinted on you, but you don't want him as a partner, so he would be your friend, or brotherly figure.)

Answer 2

Answer 3

Imprinting in the Twilight series is a very unusual form of attraction. It's like meeting your soul mate and when one of the "Wolves" sees a certain woman, the woman destiny has chosen, they are immediately bound to her for life. It's a way of making sure the pack survives. It might be that the wolves are attracted to someone who will give them the best chance of reproducing strong children. It's an unbreakable bond.

The member of the pack who is bound cares about the wants and needs of his mate. For example, Jacob becomes bound to Renesmee, but doesn't think of her as a girlfriend or wife, but as a child. Her needs and wants are more important to him than his own. No one in the pack can hurt or kill the person another pack memember is bound to. Since the pack is connected and they feel each other's pain, the pack would not be able to stand the torment such an incident would cause.

Answer 4

"It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like... gravity moves.... suddenly. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does.... You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend."

Answer 5

Imprinting is what the werewolves do. It's when a werewolf is attracted to another, thus becoming sole mates. E.g.- In Breaking Dawn, Jacob imprints on Renesmee. It doesn't have to be lovey-dovey, but it's possible.
