I'm reading Eclipse currently, fifth time -not to brag or anything- and I'm seeing how many people are in love with Bella. Edward for one, obviously, Jacob, Mike and the other human guys. And I figured that this is why we love the story so much because it's so easy to step into Bella's shoes and make us think that they are in love with us. It's kind of pathetic, but true. So I'm trying to dissect Bella's personality and the effect she has on people.
She's classed as the damsel in distress. A klutz, caring, would sacrifice her life, hasn't got much self preservation, smart, is odd in her way, beautiful and you know, her husband is a vampire and her best friend is a werewolf. I have to put myself under those characteristics. But if their so like us how can everyone be in love with her? If we were exactly like that how come no one is falling head over heals over us? And I ask again. Where the hell is our Edward Cullen? I'm not being mean or prejudiced but I want to understand. I know its ridiculous, they need to fall in love with someone in order to have a liable story.
But seriously. What is it that allures them all? It's a question that baffles me for so long. Maybe she's just the character. She even questions herself how she has such good fortune. Luck? Fate? Or maybe this is something that happens with everything. How can we like someone else? How come we love Edward Cullen. Personality, decency, beautifulness. Maybe its the soul thing. Or Maybe it just goes deeper for the supernatural.
Nevertheless, I just wrote about crap just then I probably won't get my answers straight. Hmmm. That's very frustrating.
