We are never enough astonished to see how many millions of teenage girls get attracted by this very modern and visionary
novel.
Stephanie Meyer's Twilight came out in 2005 and ever since, it's been making waves all over the internet, complete with a movie on the way. Written in first person narrative, Isabella Swan is the main character and the lucky girl who finds her "true love" in the form of Edward Cullen, a very nice guy who reveals to be a vampyre, who's older than her grandfather. Needless to say, this star-crossed-lovers' set-up provides ample room for truck loads of angst, suspense and a touch of mystery. Or so the publishers will have me believe.
We don't think that it's a novel so bad like other products its genre: the writing is good, if looked at purely from the fact that Meyer knows her target audience well. Sadly though, I found none of her characters to be very endearing - I mean, it's hard enough to connect with a love interest who, in addition to having that dark and brooding thing going on, is largely boring. Edward Cullen is something like a cardboard cut out of a vampire boyfriend: he's controlling, drives fast cars and is amused by almost everything that Bella does. And just like every other
teen novel, Edward and his family are stunning in appearance and unapproachable by the masses: however, this all changes when Bella moves to Forks, Washington to live with her dad.
We would ask to ourself: Who are the daily life
vampyres? The answer could be: they are the false people who look to be something that they are not, like fake people who perform realistic stories and characters in the so-called reality shows. If we want get back the control of our natural and healthy human existence, we should destroy the fake images that they have impressed in our minds. We should find out a new way to approach to life, a more sane and genuine lifestyle. It's not easy, but learning from Bella's mistakes we can go on.
