^ Well...in some ways Bella and Edward's relationship is just as strange as Emily and Sam's. Meyer gives all the males REASONS or excuses of why they might hurt somebody, especially the object of their desire.

Edward follows Bella around in the first book. He's kind of like a peeping Tom. When Bella find's out, she's okay with it... which most people would react differently.

Edward also tells Bella in several of the books that, although he loves her, he also wants to kill her. Now, that's a strange relationship. He also admits to being sexually attracted to Bella... but he still feels this incredibly strong drive to kill her.

Edward could have easily injured Bella profoundly just be being around her. And Bella would have thought this normal and would have never blamed him for his actions.

It's like you said... Meyer takes Twilight into some dark places. I'd say dark and "twisted' places! Some of the things she puts into the books are just plain weird... although I did enjoy reading the books (they sure weren't boring.)

Also something else, and Sethnesmee, tell me if you understand this because I don't know how to say it. Meyer went out of her way to make Bella perfect. She goes to Forks (a place she loathes) to help out her mother's marriage. Even when she does crazy spiteful things... she always has the excuse that she loves Edward... and that's all she an think about. Even when she admits she's wrong... Edward's not far off so he can tell her that she's perfect, that she's never done anything wrong. Anyhow, Meyer spent so much of her time trying to make a perfect character... that she accidentally created this other side to Bella. A Bella full of flaws and mistakes. I'll explain it better another time.
