How Does Edward Shows Love Better

Humans for centuries have been drawn to vampires. From sitting around the fire in the time before the industrial revolution, to sitting around the table and in modern times watching it on the big screen. The folk tales of the undead that hunt at night, sucking the blood of the innocent has haunted and intrigued the human psyche for as long folklore has been in existence. Being afraid of what is being told to them, yet being unable to pull away. The pull and push affect that these mystical monsters have on the human aura is undeniable. Modern day vampires have a cult like following. When the Twilight series came out, the people where divided between team Jacob and team Edward. Teenage girls would swoon over these monsters, dangerous yet alluring.

In ‘Edward Scissorhands’, Edward goes through new experiences that show his individuality and how he is different to all the community. In the film, characters such as Joyce and Jim firstly rejected Edward as he was different, they then adored him as he did unique art such as hairdressing, gardening, grooming dogs, cutting meat and ice sculpting. Once Edward discovered his talents, he became very popular amongst the community. They used him so that they would have an easier life, but then when he did something wrong he was then rejected again. Being the individual Edward was in the community, he experienced so many new things such as his growing relationship with Kim. His new experiences with Kim made him learn what true feelings for a girl really was. As great as being and individual is with all this said however, being an individual can also be dangerous in a way, as you would get judged by others around you for being yourself. Edward in the beginning of the film had that exact problem, everyone would be judging him for having scissors as hands and would think of him as a scary monster. The reason Edward went to the community in the first place was because of Peg. Peg

Romeo and Juliet focused mostly on appearance while “falling in love”. The first thing that Romeo says when he sees Juliet is about her beauty. “Did my heart love til now? Forswear it, sight! For I have never seen true beauty till this night.” (Act 1, Scene 5). Then, he goes on and on, and barely talks to her before deciding he loves her. Most of the things that Romeo and Juliet say, both to each other and in general, have to do with beauty or handsomeness. This is evidence that they are focusing on outward appearance. Also, Romeo and Juliet had just met when they decided that they were in love. Getting married the day after meeting is not logical. These are some examples that Romeo and Juliet were not truly

Another important scene in the book is when Bella goes to Port Angeles with Jessica and Angela to help them pick out dresses and to also get a new book. She gets lost on her way back to meet her friends for dinner. Lost with four men are following her, Edward comes out of nowhere to rescue her. He fishtails around a corner and stops with the passenger door open next to Bella. He tells her to talk about something random to distract him from going back to kill Bella’s stalkers. After he rescues Bella, he takes her to dinner, where Bella interrogates Edward about how he knew where she was. The car ride home from Port Angeles is another scene where the movie’s timeline differs from the book. During the car ride Bella tells Edward her theories about him (Meyers 161). Her theories are built on the story she learned from an old tribe legend Jacob told her when they meet on the beach, revealing that she knows Edward is a vampire (183). This begins a new period in their relationship, where they trade off days asking one another questions about everything. The next day, they go on a hike up the mountain to Edward’s favorite spot, the meadow. He shows Bella why he and his family cannot be seen in the sunlight, being that his skin sparkles in the light. Edward then shows her what he is capable by using his

First, to compare and contrast Twilight and The Vampire Diaries, the main characters need to be analyzed. Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are the main characters in the Twilight movies, while Elena Gilbert and Stefan and Damon Salvatore are the main characters in The Vampire Diaries. Both Elena and Bella are humans at the beginning of each series and fall in love with a vampire. However, the similarities between the two female characters end there. Elena is an older sibling and very protective of her younger brother, Jeremy. Elena is also very popular and has many friends. Elena makes it very clear in the series that she does not want to be a vampire. Bella, on the other hand, wants to become a

In Edward Scissorhands, the neighborhood at the base of the hill is shown as a bright and vibrant place to be. The characters are introduced with very distinct and unique personalities. They all have big hair and big charisma whereas Edward is introduced to the movie hiding and afraid. The symbolism of this establishing shot of Edward gives the viewer a grasp on his quiet introverted demeanor in contrast to Peg’s cheery, helpful approach. During the scene where Peg is driving Edward into the neighborhood, it is clearly shown that Edward sticks out like a sore thumb. With his dark leather clothes, disheveled hair and of course, scissors for hands many are warded off by his appearance. Those who give him a chance, such as Peg’s family and some of her friends, have their eyes opened to his very different walk of life. As with Edward Scissorhands, Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children also uses contrast to create a fine line between the two settings in the film. When Jacob first arrives in Wales, the mood is set to match his father’s attitude. Everything is dreary and dull. The appearance of the children’s home is meant to reinforce everything that was being told to Jacob before he left, that he would only be disappointed, that the house wasn’t there anymore, that everyone was dead. This was in stark contrast to what Jacob found inside the loop, the perfect day, filled with very much alive peculiar children. The mood inside the loop is set to match Jacob’s attitude, positive and full of hope. Everything is buzzing with life and excitement. Once again, Burton uses Jacob’s resoluteness to push young people to walk off the beaten path.

I much prefer Elena to Bella, at least in part because I feel like I know her better and that she is a more positive role model, but both make decisions and take steps to achieve their goals. I may not agree with those goals or those actions, but neither Elena nor Bella is a completely-blank, inactive character.

A man of brown eyes. golden locks and a charming smile was loved by those who met him throughout his life his name was Edward Cullen. Edward has an ecstatic life full of love and laughter one may say it was perfect life. From the night that was going to change his life forever to the night that became what ended it all together. He was about to go wit Winter his future fiance and express his love t her when it all happened. He took a wrong turn that unfotunately ended it all, he crashed and the car flipped over and over and over until it stopped ending his life instantly.

Due to her parents divorce and her mother's impending marriage, Bella moves from Arizona to Washington with her father, where she is essentially forced to restart her life. This is a very challenging task, and one she was able of enduring alone, proving her self reliance. While Bella made a few quick acquaintances, she struggled with the absence of close relationships prior to meeting Edward. The vacancy left in her life can be attributed to her nonconformity, and her unapologetic nature. Even after connecting with Edward, Bella is reluctant to change the way she acts to please him.

Oddly enough Bella and Edward’s skin tones are both significantly white and they are both drawn in by this whiteness. When Bella is new at the school many of the boys are interested in her but she only shows interest in Edward when he walks through the doors (“Who is that?” ). In addition, Edward has been at the school for a bit but has shown no interest in anyone (“no one here is good enough for him” ). However, when Edward sees Bella he falls in love automatically. Like many heroes, Edward is what one considers very masculine; he is both fast and strong. Bella was about to be hit by a vehicle but Edward “got to [her] so fast, he was nowhere near [her]...he stopped the van from crushing [her]” and left a large dent. Moreover, Edward is rich, worldly, generous, intelligent (he has been around for centuries), he is a saviour, he is significantly protective of Bella (“I feel very protective of you” ), and he is sensitive towards Bella, he is the dream man/boy who many people fantasize over. On the other hand, because Edward possesses all these characteristics, the heroine must lack these qualities and as a result Bella is small, clumsy, delicate, vulnerable, soft, fragile (Edward could lose control and kill her by accident ), desperate, uncoordinated (slips on ice ), less smart (“if you were smart you’d stay away from me... what if I’m the bad guy?” ) “In the end a good-looking boyfriend remains

In vampire literature, there is always a mortal female willing to risk her life to be with a vampire. These females are willing to do anything to be with these immortal creatures for a lifetime of endless love, regardless of the danger. Is mortal love not enough anymore? With vampires, they seduce their prey in order to feed. Vampires intrigue women with love, sex, romance, and most importantly mystery. Vampires are much more desirable then mortal men, even though they can potentially kill you. Their love is endless compared to mortal love.

Bella is caught between two men in the film, Edward and Jacob. Although she is unquestionably in love with Edward, he abandons her so she is left in Forks with Jacob. Jacob is a muscular, tan, teenage boy a few years younger than Bella but has the build of a man twice his own age. With Edward gone, Bella does not try to go on life alone or be independent; she runs to Jacob. A source on Intangible Divulgences describes this point of the saga and states “The love triangle is established, with Bella now caught between two men, given a “choice,” as Meyer sees it, but a choice to attach herself to a male no matter what it takes.” (Divulgence 1). Bella is never given or never considers the choice of being her own person or by herself; it's either Edward or Jacob, being with herself is not option. Bella is portrayed as so codependent because she is physically fragile and clumsy. Christine Jarvis, author of "The Twilight Of Feminism? Stephenie Meyer's Saga And The Contradictions Of Contemporary Girlhood." talks about how Bella is create this way purposely so she can be a relatable character for women because she is “powerless.” (Jarvis 102). The Twilight Saga display a sort of power imbalance with Edward having more power than Bella does. Edward is basically indestructible and calm while Bella is frantic and can barely fend for herself. She also has no strength, physically or emotionally while Edward and Jacob are depicted as the epitome of strength and self control. In one part of New Moon, Bella agrees to rebuild dirt bikes with Jacob but does no manual labor whatsoever and even gets hurt clumsily falling in the tool shed. Bella embodies all the negative stereotypes society has created against women, yet she is still looked up to by viewers because she is with an attractive man with incredible

In all four works, Bella Swan in the protagonist. The story is centered around her life. All four books are written in her perspective. Meyer usually tends to write all her stories as first person narratives, including books that are not related to the Twilight Saga like The Host. When Meyer writes, she becomes completely engrossed in the characters. The main reason why she writes is because of the characters she creates. She envisions them in her brain. She talks to them all day, and they talk back. Coming up with the perfect names for the two main characters was a very tough process. She wanted a name that was popular decades ago, but at the same time, she wanted a name that was romantic for the vampire. Since Meyer grew up reading Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen, she used the characters Mr. Ferrars and Mr. Rochester from their works as an inspiration; thus leading her to choose the name Edward. After coming up with the names for the twosome, and was still in the process of creating their story, they would constantly talk to her. She heard their voices all day, so Meyer would

For people who forgot or don’t know about these two novels, these novels are about the lives of vampires. The Vampire Chronicles (1976-2003) is by Anne Rice. Her novels are series that tells the story of a French nobleman named Lestate de Lioncourt who transformed into a vampire in the eighteenth century. The other novel series, The Twilight Saga, is by Stephenie Meyer. Her novel series tells a story of a young ordinary female, Bella Swan, who falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen. Both of these novel series has turned into the big screen including Interview with a Vampire, Queen of the Damned, and the Twilight movie series that almost every teenage girl loves. Even though they might tell

Twilight, is a movie known by many people, directed by Catherine Hardwicke in 2008. Twilight is just the first of many movies in the series, “The Twilight Saga”. Isabella “Bella” Swan (Kristen Stewart), the main character, is a teenage girl, she is moving from her loved home in sunny and warm Arizona with her mom, to Forks, a always rainy and dreary small town in the state of Washington to live with her father. When she goes to school she meets Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) a vampire, when she first sees him she thinks something is different but something about him is attractive to him. Edward and Bella have never talked to each other but the director shows the viewer the awkward tension the characters are feeling.
