The character of Bella in Twilight describes a first love perfectly. She is so in love with Edward instantly. I remember this was what my first love was like. In some aspects her character is relate able, she chooses to be irrational when it comes to her first love but then whenever she first makes her decision to live her dad, the mature adult comes out. The books have so many dedicated readers that live vicariously through her character.
Bella is a complex character so many girls look up to or for that matter wish they were. When reading these books, I completely understood her feelings. Even though vampires aren't real, reading the books from her perspective makes people feel like there is such a thing as love at first sight or immediate attraction.
I really liked her character to begin with, but I later realized she allows herself to get so wrapped up in this world that she doesn't fit in, and it sort of made me frustrated. But then again, who didn't let themselves get in the same position when they had their first love. Her view of her life is the least important thing to her especially in the last two books, and it made me wonder how girls would relate to this once they realized she would give anything to be "immortal." Some people found her to be a disgrace to women because they considered her character to allow a somewhat obsessive relationship.
I think Stephenie Meyer really just wrote to entertain, not enrage readers about Bella, even though it seems her character has created much controversy in some peoples minds.
i never read the book twilight or saw the movie but i heard it was really good both of them. After reading this post it makes me want to read the book then see the movie. Becuase usually the book it better. This post kind of gave me a intro to twilight.
