I liked Bella. Did I understand her. No. Bella was FULL of shortcomings and flaws. Face it, she was a bit of a freak of nature....and I don't necessarily mean that mental shield thing. But Bella almost reacts differently than how most humans react. That's how Edward became so preoccupied with her...she always did the opposite than what was the norm...or what he thought she might do. Before Bella...all of the Cullen kids classmates thought they were freaky...and stayed away from them. Sure...the school kids thought the Cullen kids were great looking....but they were all still freaked out by them. All BUT Bella...Bella was only not repelled by the Cullens...but she actually felt DRAWN to them. That's one of the reasons Edward refused to date...he knew if he were to go out with a 'normal' human girl...that they'd be totally freakd out and repelled by him.
