There are three (3) big categories of abuse. These are the ones that happen on a daily basis, and they are not at all uncommon :( In Twilight, all three of these abusive categories are represented দ্বারা a character. They are grouped as follows:

Psychological Abuse: Edward Cullen
Sexual Abuse: Jacob Black
Physical Abuse: Sam Uley

Now, আপনি Twilighters are probably thinking, "Whaa-? That's ridiculous!" No, actually, it is not, if আপনি will give me a chance to explain.





Edward Cullen does indeed abuse Bella psychologically. He constantly refers to her stupidity and her clumsiness. Some may call this "keeping it real." In reality, he is pointing out all the bad things about her, lowering her already abysmal self confidence into the negatives. He also stalks her. I'll provide a definition of "stalking" from the dictionary:

stalk (verb): To follow অথবা observe (a person) persistently, especially out of obsession অথবা derangement.

Now, this romance between Bella and him cannot be called "love". Tell me; when do these two ever go out to do things together? When do they sit and just talk (no, "I প্রণয় আপনি more" conversations don't count)? When do they ever joke around and laugh with each other? Heck, when do they ever even go on a freaking date? Answer: they don't. They just sit around staring at each other and making out all the time. That is called lust. Now, lust is often confused with love, so it is understandable that so many of আপনি seem to be confused. Why am I bringing this up, আপনি ask?

"...especially out of obsession অথবা derangement."

That was a segment of the definition of "stalk". What Edward feels for Bella is a lusty obsession. He is indeed obsessed with her.

Okay, how does he follow her, then? Hm?

I'm getting there. For one thing, they had a total of two (2) conversations before he started breaking into her room to watch her sleep. He wasn't even officially her boyfriend at the time! Romantic, আপনি say? Let's imagine...

...you sit পরবর্তি to a new kid in a class. For the duration of the class, he is extremely rude to you, making আপনি feel terrible. It seems as if he is purposely being malicious toward আপনি specifically. He then does all in his power to completely avoid আপনি for a week. Now, আপনি must be feeling very self conscious at this point. The পরবর্তি class, he sits পরবর্তি to আপনি again, and is suddenly all polite. Weird, right? So আপনি talk to him politely, and that's that. Now, আপনি go home, do your homework, eat dinner, maybe talk to a few friends, blah blah blah. Then আপনি go to bed. You're sleeping... zzzzzz... A noise wakes আপনি up! আপনি jump up in বিছানা and find... he is standing right there staring at you, watching আপনি sleep! What is he doing here? How did he get in? আপনি see the open window and realize he broke into your bedroom! He admits he'd been in your room watching আপনি sleep because he finds it fascinating...

Still think that's romantic?

Now, I know that's not what happened in Twilight. That isn't the point. The point is, stalking is NOT romantic. It is creepy.

Another thing he does? He follows her into the city. It's her girls night out with Angela and Jessica, and he follows her there, "just to keep an eye on her." Yes, I realize he saved her from rapists, but still. He didn't realize he was going to need to save her when he followed her there. He followed her because he wanted to. After four (4) conversations with her. Again, this is NOT normal. It is creepy.

Edward dominates Bella well enough. This is well hidden, but it is evident. He uses his charm (his "liquid topaz eyes," especially) to "dazzle" her. This makes her submissive to him. We see him do this to the waitress in the restaurant. He even seems to do this to the reader. It is a common, and very dangerous, tactic to hide his true intentions. He does command her to do several things. True, they are small things, things that one may overlook. However, a baby must learn to sit before it can crawl, crawl before it can walk, and walk before it can run. Indeed, the things he commands of her do grow progressively আরো significant. They start with ordering her to eat at the restaurant. However, দ্বারা Eclipse, he is ordering her to stay away from her best friend in the entire world; Jacob Black.

"But Jacob's a newborn werewolf! He's dangerous!"

This is true. However, this is not the reason Edward does so much - from disabling her car to convincing Alice to kidnap her, which are both major signs of abuse - to keep her from visiting him. He even admits it later; he was jealous of Jacob, and he was prejudiced. This is a completely different matter than "because it's for her own good." He isolates her from Jacob against her will for no good reason. That is abuse.





Jacob Black is a symbol of sexual abuse. How? There are two extremely significant things he does here.

1. He forces himself upon Bella.
Jacob, being a werewolf, is infinitely stronger than Bella. He uses this against her. He forcibly kisses her, holding her tight so that she has no hope of escaping him. He doesn't care that she doesn't want it. He wants it, and that's all he cares about. Then, after seeing her anger, shock and pure horror at what he did, he merely grins at her. Even after she punches him in the face, he doesn't give a darn about how she might feel about what he just did. Then, later on, he does this AGAIN. While he may not have actually had sexual contact with her, this still counts as sexual abuse.

2. He becomes a pedophile.
Let me explain. He takes one look at Bella's newborn baby, and he immediately decides he is IN প্রণয় with it. Hold up. Let me analyze the current situation. How could he fall in প্রণয় with a baby the moment he sees it? This, my friends, is called LUST. To lust after a small child like that is called pedophilia. Now, I realize that the way Imprinting works, he would not have wanted sexual contact with her until he was older. In fact, he would act as "whatever she needed him to be" until she is old enough. Ah, now we get into a whole new situation. We go to a different BRANCH of pedophilia. This is called Child Grooming.

What's "Child Grooming"?

Good question! Child grooming is a form of pedophilia where the man would know a person from their childhood. They would grow very close to that person in order to gain the child's trust. Then, once older, the man would have sexual contact with the child. Devastated, confused and terrified, the child would সাড়াশিজাতীয় যন্ত্র দ্বারা বান্ধা up and refuse to tell anybody because they had trusted this man.





Then there is Sam Uley. Here we have another issue with Imprinting. When he falls in "love" with Emily, she is reluctant. How could she go on and তারিখ the man who had been so important to her cousin and best friend, Leah? Of course, Sam wasn't having that. Oh no. When she told him, he became angry. He transformed into a werewolf and ATTACKED her. He nearly ripped her face off! She finally gave in, having gone through so much pain. He literally beat her into submission. That is not romantic in the slightest.





Now, Edward can be abusive in many ways. Psychological just so happens to be his specialty. However, he has proven to be physically abusive as well (forcing painkillers on her in the hospital, towing her to his truck and forcing her to let him drive her home, etc.) but that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading!

 A relationship of equals
A relationship of equals
I sat with my sister one day, watching Lord of the Rings, when this came to me.

I had just gotten into a heated বিতর্ক with one of my friends. When I gave my calm, simple, honest opinion about Twilight, she started yelling at me, telling me, "You just don't understand Kassie, আপনি just don't understand. আপনি just don't know..." and so on and I wanted to তীক্ষ্নভাবে her.

Well, as we watched the Fellowship of the Ring, I realized that Aragorn did the same thing as Edward in New Moon.

Now, before any Aragorn প্রেমী out there start yelling at me, let me explain!

I realized I didn't hate Aragorn for leaving...

It seems that nowadays when people mention the words ‘Twilight’, ‘Edward’ অথবা ‘Stephenie Meyer’ a huge বিতর্ক is formed. People are বিভক্ত করা completely down the middle with their প্রণয় অথবা hate of the twilight saga, everything seen as either black অথবা white. So here is an opinion from one of the few stuck within the grey area (like, dislike and don’t care either way). Rip this opinion to shreds, প্রণয় it অথবা hate it. Tell the world how much twilight rocks, sucks অথবা takes the complete piss out of teenage romance. But please remember this is my opinion and seeing as this place is all about...

I've seen yet another মতামত saying people who thought the Edward/Bella relationship was abusive have either not read the book অথবা have simply 'misunderstood' it, and am completely losing my ability to politely respond when I hear that, so I'm লেখা this so in future I don't even have to respond, I can link to here and avoid the risk of snapping and going on an all স্মারক rant. I'm pointing out at the start that I'm not accusing all Twilighters of this, there are lots of Twilight অনুরাগী on the spot who are able to give their opinion in a pleasant, grown up way, and I really appreciate that (virtual...

Okay most of the Twilight- Haters would say that Edward is too old for Bella and that make him paedophile but I don't think so (not only because I am twilight fan) is because that Edward is literally 17 and he feels and thinks as a 17 বছর old. I mean take someone আপনি know is really smart that doesnt mean they are have lived any longer than আপনি have they just learnt আরো in the years they have lived. I bet আপনি they still act their age.
To be quite honest I know a programme that is aired in India as well as here where the Guy is at least 55 years old with 5 kids three of them older than the girl...
