36 voice, his hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of his personality,
I wanted nothing more than to be with him right now.” Meyer, p:72
Bella makes the decision that vampire or not, monster or not, she is not going to let the circumstances keep her from Edward. Unlike Carlisle, who can
mentally overcome his strongest instincts, Bella cannot overcome her attraction to Edward, no matter how unnatural or dangerous. The power of this attraction is
clear in the way she describes him—she uses the words hypnotic and magnetic to describe his eyes, his personality, expressing that the power is
strong enough for her self-control to become irrelevant. Notably, she suggests that there never was really a choice—she has given in so completely to her desires that
she cannot even see an alternative. I think in this novel Bella has no personality and any loser can put
themselves in her shoes. Bella is so plain person. She can’t do anything without Edward. The truth that her father always leaves her alone and doesnt question her
anything and the real parents arent that way. Because of that Bella teaches women to let the man handle everything, which pretty much is a huge step backward for
women everywhere, who have fought for equality.

37 as having russet skin, black hair and dark eyes. In Twilight, he is described as a
lanky fifteen-year-old with hair down to his shoulders. “He looked fourteen, maybe fifteen, and had long, glossy
black hair pulled back with a rubber band at the nape of his neck. His skin was beautiful, silky and russet-colored;
his eyes were dark, set deep above the high planes of his cheekbones. He still had just a hint of childish roundness
left around his chin. altogether, a very pretty face.” Meyer, p:62
Jacob actually has a personality. Bella always describes Jacob as bright and sunny. He is also as friendly as a friend.
He flashed a brilliant smile, looking at appreciatively in a way I was learning to recognize.
“You know Bella, Jacob?” Lauren asked “we’ve sort of known each other since I was born,”
he laughed, smiling at me again. Meyer, p:63
He hints to her that the Cullens are vampires. He also warns Bella to be careful
and that well be watching, which is a message from his father. “And what are they?” I finally asked. “What are the cold ones?”
He smiled darkly. “Blood drinkers,” he replied in a chilling voice. “your people
called them Vampires.” Meyer, p:65
All Characters in this novel are round character. Meyer describes the characters in details such as their conflicts and thought. They describe in
convincing way. How their past is and who their family is, friends and all that relate. Everything is described complete and detail. The main character is
extremely compelling. The protagonist is so consumed with her crush on him that she blocks everything else, and the fact that hes a vampire adds a whole other
level.
