After পাঠ করা the post "Bella as a heroine should be illegal" দ্বারা bendaimmortal, it got me thinking. Obviously, no-one would consider Bella রাজহাঁস a heroine. If আপনি do, আপনি have got a really great deal of imagination, অথবা a warped sense of the world. Because, and I'm sure most Twilight অনুরাগী would agree, the girl didn't do anything at all. Save being overly dramatic and being the damsel in distress.
What about the Cullens then? What about Carlisle, Alice, Esme, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett? What about He-Who-Sparkles-In-Broad-Daylight? Would they be considered heroes/heroines?
No.
I say that the Cullens aren't নায়ক অথবা heroines because they are just so pathetic and lousy as heroes. They can't strategize at all and despite their many gifts, the villains get them all the time.
The Cullens aren't good নায়ক also because of their double standard. They claim to care for humans, but they don't. Sometimes, I think they have হারিয়ে গেছে focus and direction. Carlisle doesn't want to eat humans because he cares for them. That's very noble. But his children's actions have put humans in danger and they have come to see Carlisle's cause as something that is আরো for their own personal benefits than something to fight for.
Case in point:
Twilight: The game is between the SEVEN Cullens and the Unholy Trinity-James, Victoria and Laurent. In fact, Laurent quit and decided he didn't want to be part of it anymore. So, it's the SEVEN Cullens against two evil vampires. If that's not enough, they have a mind reader, a psychic, a strong dude, and an empath within their ranks. James and Victoria are severely outnumbered, and in any OTHER story, they would be vampire sashimi in a jiffy. But apparently not in this one. For some reason, James and Victoria manage to lead the Cullens in a wild রাজহংসী chase and very nearly get away with their game. Which leads me to the conclusion that the Cullens aren't the brightest bulbs in the toolshed.
New Moon- After Edward and Bella's reunion, the Volturi break for lunch. Edward and Alice could have stopped the Volturi from killing the poor innocent victims. But what do they do? Edward sits a frightened Bella on his lap and WHISPERS comforting things in her ear while a group of people are brutally murdered পরবর্তি door. If I were Bella, I would yell at Edward to go rescue them. If I were me, I call up Buffy and a few vampire slayers and wage war on the Volturi.
Breaking Dawn- This one takes the cake. The Cullens' blatant disregard for human life is shown when they invite non-vegetarian ভ্যাম্পায়ার to fight for them. Edward even lends his cars to the vamps. I don't like their double standard at all. For four books, Carlisle has been criticising the Volturi for eating humans. Then, in Breaking Dawn, he shuts both eyes and closes his ears to his বন্ধু eating humans. Suddenly, hunting humans are okay because his বন্ধু do it.
The Cullens: Heroes? Definitely not.

I came across the site 'My life is average' (link) where people send in যেভাবে খুশী উদ্ধৃতি such as 'Today, my friend and I bought cake mix at the store. The cashier jokingly told us to bring him back some cake. We did. MLIA."
I curiously searched Edward Cullen and some pretty much hilarious results came up!
"Today, my 12-year-old Twilight obsessed little sister told me she wanted a life sized picture of Edward Cullen to put up on her wall. Since she's always telling me how much better Twilight is than Harry Potter, I decided to get her a life sized picture of Cedric Diggory instead. MLIA"
Not the funniest one there, but i've seen some that have made me literally crease. I would recommend looking some up if আপনি want a good laugh and hate the hype surrounding Twilight! :)

I used to be a die-hard Twilight fan. (see my username. Damn I wish I'd chosen ANYTHING else sometimes.)
I still like the book in small doses now, and I even write fanfiction for it, but now I've looked critically at SMeyer's characters, and I think I realize what people are talking about when they say Bella রাজহাঁস is a Mary Sue.
As a person who has seen it from both sides, I'd like to say that maybe Twilight অনুরাগী didn't see Bella like that to begin with because she has so many "flaws".
I'm not really a mega-supporter of Bella's neediness. And I even, admittedly, wonder why she took Edward back after New Moon. Normal people with lives and better things to do would say, "Hell no am I taking আপনি back. আপনি left me crying in a forest, and আপনি think I'll just come running back to you? আপনি wanna commit suicide, go right ahead while I get the popcorn."
I still like Twilight. But maybe Bella রাজহাঁস was kind of 2-Dimensional.
