“It's not meant to be real thats why it is called Fiction. Your not supposed to always understand the relationship between all characters your just supposed to get that it is there. Since Vampires dont exist is the reason that you cant understand why edward is doing what he is doing. You Older people think too much into how a relationship should be, you cant see past the excitment of it. Since everything in your lives is long past excitment and moved to the more dull and boring every day mundane life. Bella is also very older than she really is her soul is what people might consider a old soul one that has lived many lives and is wiser than her age, Edward is a vampire who's human life had been locked inside him and as he allows himself to fall more in love with bella he allows his human emotions that lingerd come back to him. It dosn't make since because its not supposed to their relationship is so much more than an ordinary human can understand. But i guess if you've never fallen head over heals in love if you've never experienced the passion all the excitment all the love in your life than you will never come close to knowing what edward and bella have or feel. It has nothing to do with Teenage girls It hads to do with love and life everything that anyone has ever felt for the person they cant live their lives without. I'm only assuming that you have never found your soul mate, just some mundane human relationship no mor than compainionship.”
“You must be an "extraordinary" human who has found her soul mate and whose love is so deep only you can understand "love" as portrayed in this book. Your love life must be so PERFECT and heavenly that you seem to go as far as assuming everybody who has commented and made a review against twilight are old, emotionally detached and boring people. You must be a fairy tale princess who jumped out of some book, found herself in the real world and still can't shake off her childish fantasies. Sorry princess, you'll soon find that life in the real world isn't perfect.”
“Yeah, we know what fiction is. We know vampires don't exist. I guess you of all people know these things since you pretty much shoved that in our mouths. I've never been as sick of the word 'mundane' as I have while reading your comment. You seem to know sooooooo much about love, do you know the famous Latin phrase 'Amor omnibus idem'? It means love is the same for all. It doesn't matter if you're 78, a hooker or a freak, it doesn't matter if your life is "mundane" nor does it matter whether you're young or not, being in love is the same for everyone. People don't need these books or your knowledge on love to experience it. Most of all, grown-ups don't rely on love for excitement--that's just stupid. Love isn't all about excitement. Can you just, for once, imagine the years after a first kiss, first lovemaking and, for the love of God, look past perfect weddings. Imagine your "prince charming" past 70 years of age and running out of saliva because he can't produce them anymore. Imagine bed sores, adult diapers and medicines. Now, tell me if you're still so in love. Not so much anymore, huh? I guess you failed to consider that "Older people" (as you mentioned it) actually stay with their bedridden partners for love. And whether or not they're that old, I, for one, admire grown-ups for accepting such future by committing themselves to someone. PS Do me a favor and stop shaming us young adults by bashing grown-ups with your insufferable grammar and rants about love that supposedly "humans can't understand" (I love quoting from you). Yes, that's right, I'm not one of the "Older people". PPS It's companionship not compainionship, lingered not lingerd, excitement not excitment...I can go on and on, sister. Lastly, use punctuation marks next time. PPPS Are you a vampire? Because you said, "It dosn't make since because its not supposed to their relationship is so much more than an ordinary human can understand." From what I understand, you're saying ordinary humans can't comprehend Edward's love for Bella but you seem to know what sort of love it is. So, you're not an ordinary human. Right? Mental, perhaps?”
“That "Vampires don't exist is the reason you can't understand why Edward is doing what he is doing."If that is the case, then Stephenie Meyer has failed miserably as an author. Vampires have a long standing literary tradition of representing something sexual in nature. Count Dracula, Carmilla, your Edward Cullen among others... all of them are characterized by sex, monstrosity, the need to dominate, and so forth. I would be perfectly willing to argue that Edward Cullen represents a teenager's sexual frustration. Writers during the English Renaissance/Early Modern picked up a delightful trope from the French that pertains to this topic: sex and death are equivalent terms. Edward wants to kill Bella. Whenever he catches her scent, there's that chance that he'll lose control and kill her. What that actually means is that he really wants to act on his sexual desires but refuses to do so. The relationship between Bella and Edward makes perfect sense. It's based on pure physical attraction from both ends. As someone else pointed out, Edward has the added bonus of providing a controlling force in Bella's life that has been noticeably lacking. He's filling a void. That said, there is nothing in the text that smacks of love. Passion, yes, most definitely, but enduring love? Not at all.Despite my bold attempt to make this book sound mildly intelligent, Twilight is a lot of fluff. I have read much worse fluff, but fluff it remains. To each his own, though. Everyone needs a guilty pleasure or two. ”
“There is no such thing as true love in this book. True love encounters and overcomes obstacles and tests. Nothing is really stacked against Bella and Edward and the conflict in the end of twilight was rushed. Bella is pretty much willing to sacrifice herself and turn into a vampire. You don't need to be with someone supernatural to understand what true love is. Most important of all the old people that your bashing here are the ones who can actually show you what true love is - loving the same person even though they are old and wrinkled. Bella knows nothing about this since all she can babble about is how perfect Edward is. The attraction on both ends is just physical. ”
“I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this: "Bella is also very older than she really is her soul is what people might consider a old soul one that has lived many lives and is wiser than her age" because Bella is one of the most immature, UNwise characters in all of fiction. Everything she does is driven by her own selfish desires. That's not wise or mature at all.”
“I am ashamed that I share the same name as you. Fiction is fiction because, yes, it is not true, but there has to be some sort of believabilty (sorry, not sure if that's a word) in a story to make it good, of which Twilight has none. The relationship is 100% passion, and I believe that after a hundred years of perfect bodies, even that will get sour.Bella isn't wise at all. She is the perfect example of an old stereotype against women - incapable of doing anything herself, needs someone to control her... and on, and on.Love has to do with personalities. Edward is a controlling freak, Bella's personality does not exist. Therefore, the romance is imaginary.You're right, it has nothing to do with teenager girls, which includes myself. It does, however, have to do with unimaginative, uninquisitive teenage girls such as yourself.Please stop assuming that all Twilight haters are adults or older. I'd bet you a lot of money that I'm younger than you. And, for that matter, I'm better at spelling and grammer than you. If you don't know how to spell something, look it up. Also, learn the meaning of a sentence. Punctuation is important.All right, rant over. Maybe I was a little harsh on you, but I needed to get that out of my system. TWILIGHT ISN'T THAT GOOD. If it hadn't become a fad, I bet you wouldn't have liked it at all.”
“Actually, I read Twilight way before anyone ever knew about it, and I still loved it.”
“A. don't call people who dislike the book old. its rude.B. Bella may be an "old soul" but that doesn't mean she can only have two dimensions.C. If ya don't understand how there's a relationship, then it becomes unreal and thus stupid.D. Edward isn't a vampire, he is a PansyE. I'm 15 and hate the book, so you called me a boring old woman. that was really sweet of you.”
“Ohmygod, thank you so much Sef. I agree COMPLETELY with you!!”
