Talk:Carlisle Cullen/@comment-7600752-20140126015026

Carlisle is one of my favorite Twilight characters. But I read some interesting things about him at another site...one about the fact that he tried to commit suicide after becoming a vampire by jumping from huge heights, by drowning...and other numerous methods. But here is something from another site that is VERY interesting:

On realizing he was a vampire, Carlisle attempted suicide many times, which included trying to drown himself and jumping off cliffs. Considering how flammable Meyerpires are, he obviously never thought of fire. Carlisle is clearly not as clever as he thinks he is, also considering that burning to death was the common punishment for demons and witches at that time and actually what he was supposed to do with the vampires he found in the sewers. Actually this is even stated by Edward while telling the tale, that Carlisle was afraid of being burned because he came in contact with the vampire - so burning oneself to attempt suicide was clearly out of question. During this time he became friends with the Volturi, who did kill humans for food. Fortunately Carlisle is very open-minded and didn't let his friends' constant murdering people get in the way of their relationship.
