I read the series and I could admit that it was entertaining, but it made me angry. Bella is the antitheses of what the modern woman should be. That people would even compare Twilight to Romeo and Juliet is an insult to literature. Juliet had more spunk, more personality than Bella could even imagine having.
Bella heralds back to the 18th century where women were expected to be submissive. Who knew that falling in love would mean becoming a mindless idiot? As a woman, I was offended that a woman would actually write such a story. Teen girls all over the world probably think that to be in love with a man, means that you have to be spineless.
There is something alluring and I'm watching it for the second time as I sit here writing this. I think it maybe my secret, now not so secret crush on Edward. What can I say? Robert Pattinson has an amazing vampire glare. I can understand why so many wives, mothers and single women have fallen in love with the serious. Being in the dating scene or having had your heart broken, its easy to want to believe in this love till death to us part romance.
It's comforting to believe that a love like that perhaps does in fact exist. I much prefer Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. There is so much substance in Harry Potter besides dreamy looks and golden eyes. Oh let us not forget that Edward is apparently made of glitter and may blind you if seen in the sunlight.
Enough of this, I've killed enough brain cells for an evening.
