Blog #2(semester 2); Twilight

In twilight, Bella faces the difficulty of accepting that Edward is a vampire. Throughout the book, Bella pretends that she doesn't care that he is a vampire, nor does she ever express her feelings about it. I don't think anyone could ever imagine falling in love with someone who could, at any moment, bite you, then suck your blood out until you die or become a vampire yourself. Although Bella acts as though she isn't scared and doesn't care, Edward insists she be a little frightened for his and her own sake. Because of Bella's "fearlessness", Edward also feels the need to prove to her that he can be very frightening, or a "monster" as he called himself. However, through all these mixed, expressed, and unexpressed emotions, thoughts, and feelings, both Bella and her lover seem to look further than the consequences of a vampire dating and loving a mortal. They still find a deep passion for eachother. A sense of understanding, a sense of connection, a sense of care for one another, and simple young love come out of both of these reserved characters in Twilight.
