You may be thinking, "anonymous internet user, why do you put so much thought into an insipid brand such as Twilight?" Well, equally anonymous reader, I stupidly care about Twilight. Yes, as sad as it is, I care about Twilight. It had so much potential, but only lives on to disappoint.

I was rewatching the disaster that is Breaking Dawn: Part 2, and I was thinking over why Leah sacrificed herself for Esme. Can anyone come up with a logical answer, because I sure as hell can't. It is understandable that within the faux!battle, Leah is heartbroken. Her one and only brother dies; anyone else would be a mess too. What does not make sense is that Leah would sacrifice her life to save any vampire, let alone Esme. She would be leaving behind her mother. Sue may have Charlie now, but would still love her children more (that would be three gone in less than three years0. It wouldn't make sense for the character to destroy her mother so willingly.

What also bothers me is that out of all the people who Leah could have sacrificed herself for, it was for the person who would likely kill themselves if not killed. Esme has been in love will Carlisle  ever since he saved her life, and used him as a comparison to all other men when she was younger. With he husband and soulmate dead, what else does Esme have to live for? Babies and children and interior design? No, if the battle was real, Esme would have burned.

In the end, the idea of Leah sacrificing herself for Esme was to show the audience that Leah *really did care* about the leeches, as well as pointing out how hopeless everything would become if Seth ever died. Thank god the battle wasn't real, because as soon as Leah fell into the crack (WTF was that about?), I was sscreaming for everything to turn back. I can deal with a dead everyone else, but not Leah.
