"Another prevalent vampire trait is that of a vengeful nature. Related again to their unchanging state, vampires are not forgiving; they do not move past an insult or injury. The most common example of vampire vengeance is the aftermath of the loss of a mate. When a vampire loses his mate, he never recovers from the pain. He cannot rest until the party responsible is eradicated. Centuries can pass without lessening the ferocity of his need for vengeance. However, it is possible to suppress that desire if they compel themselves to focus."

I'm sorry but this seems really immature, childish, naive, and pathetic to me. "Oh no, my mate died! Well I have nothing else so better just do kill myself." Really?? I get that Myer is really big on "true love" and "I would rather die than live in a world without you", but making her whole species completely centered and depended on their mates makes them seem weak, pathetically so. If I were ever a vampire in the Twilight universe, I would go out of my way to stay single for eternity, I would never want to kill myself if my mate died(nor stay apathetic forever), because that is not love.
