Hey girls,
This article is made of so much win, mainly b/c it is true. I was talking the other day to my friend about how Bella was just so fucking annoying b/c she had no ambitions other than Edward, but I couldnt put it the right way- this chick gets it dead on.
While, yes, Twilight is full of lulz, and that is part of the fun b/c it is cracktastic. another, literay side of me, the one that graduated college with a degree in english perhaps, feel like "yea this really is literary tripe." Just read the article, it makes more sense then my babbles. the author makes some good points about the view of women it gives (mainly to its core demographic of preteen and teen girls) and it is not healthly. A woman should not give up her entire being for a man, and thats what bella did. her whole identity was based upon edward; while edward is fabulous, he deserves a stronger and more independant woman.
That being said, i still love the crack, i really do, i am just schizo when it comes to this series-clearly! But read the article, and then we will discuss, my lovely independent women.
