I didn't see any rebellion in the book or movie. Bella was just this weak, helpless little damsel in distress who was too emotional and stupid to make any good decisions on her own and always needed a man to rescue her and keep her safe. It's bullshit, it's misogyny and it's annoying. The women I've always found most interesting were the tough ones who, when things get tough, they stand up and get tough right back; Bella, when things get tough, she just crumples and does what other people tell her to do.
Ah, but who was pushing the marriage idea and who just wanted to get their phreak on? I agree, the character wasn't entirely flattering to the fairer sex...but it was unmistakably lusty...hehehehe, and that...is a sort of power.
