Critical Analysis of Twilight 问题

Name ONE GOOD, LOGICAL REASON Twilight is good

'Cause I have no idea what makes Twilight so special. I know a lot of people who are die-hard Twilight fans, but I just can't see ANYTHING GOOD about that saga! And don't give me the "It's so sweet!" 或者 the "It's like the best romance of the era!" 或者 the "You just don't get it!" crap. Every 粉丝 tells me these (or a version of these), and I can't see any of it in the series.

I'm just kinda wondering (plz don't arrive at my house with pitchforks and torches!)

I'm a fan, but I find the angry "Twilight is good because it is!" sentiment perplexing. It reminds me of those 苹果 Jacks commercials (Adult: Why do 你 kids eat this stuff if it doesn't taste like apple? Kids: (shocked silence) ...We just do!).

I used to 爱情 Twilight, I actually still do, but i've read the 图书 when I was quite younger, they were 4 of my firsts book. And I was a total twihard, I admite it, but I grew up. I've read 更多 books. And realized they were not THAT good as I thought they were.

in my personal opinion, the best 图书 for young readers are Suzanne Collins' trilogy, "Hunger Games" I really loved'em!

I have personal reasons for liking it.

There are many aspects of the series that I relate to (the ones people have deemed unrelateable. Go figure) Some small details, some general themes. It's nice to finally find a series that hits so close to 首页 that doesn't try to guide me to a specific decision. I'm not looking for advice, so I don't want a book that will send me a posetive message that I should incorperate into my everyday lifestyle.

It's just nice to know I'm not the only person who can relate to certain things (obviously, Stephenie Meyer can, 或者 can at least understand that a person can)

TrueTwi_hard said:
this is my main reason:
I like twilight because of the storyline, the sentences and the actions.
When I read twilight, i think of my choises, and what I would do. I think of how I 显示 my loved ones that I 爱情 them, and I think about what I would do for true love.
When I read New Moon, I think about what I would do for the people i truly love. And I realize, that I would hurt myself. I would do everything for them. I know that I would make sure they are happy, and if that's 由 making myself ripped apart, I would happily be ripped. I would match them to my enemies, if that's the way to make them feel love, without being hurt.
When I read eclipse, I imagen how it would be to be on the same front as my enemy, and I have desited, that it doesn't matter. As long as being on that front, would make sure my loved one is save, I would go through eveything, see them 吻乐队(Kiss) in every possible way, just to make sure she won't get hurt.
When I read Breaking Dawn, I realize, ones again, That I would happily live through every pain people can imagen, to 爱情 my loved ones. When that means that my ribs are broken, my lungs half beaten and my stumach ripped apart, I would be glad. That means I'm still alive to see my loved ones. I would welcome death, if it saved my family.
The whole sage, makes me think about life, and how less I care about my own. I think, and I know, that, as long my loved ones are still alive, I would walk straight in the arms of death.

also because of this:

It makes me look at my live because I imagen myself in her live. When I do that, I see the things I do wrong. I see what I should, and would, do for everybody around me. Bella is quite selfish. When I read Eclipse for the first time, I realized I am too. I wás quite selfish. Now, I ask my family and 老友记 to tell me when I go that way again. It helps. I'm not that selfish anymore. A lot of Bella's bad things I have to. When I read her mistakes, I see what I can do to don't make them myself.

First, not a hate spot.

Second, although I don't care for the series, I liked the Cullen family. Not Edward, but the rest of them weren't bad. They were nice, but still had that vampire quality that made them dangerous. I also really liked that Edward pointed out that having powers wasn't all it was cracked up to be (thanks, mandapanda).

As for the things the die hard 粉丝 have said, I can't agree with those no matter how hard I try.

Also, Twilight is not a "saga". It is a "series".

I don't like it anymore but I do give it credit for starting a trend with my 老友记 and I. If 你 turn off the CAT within 你 and just go with story and just enjoy the cheesiness and crapiness of it all 你 can actually have a good time. Thanks to Twilight my 老友记 and I have basically started an unofficial book club where we read cheesy young adult 图书 and can just talk about the hot 爱情 interest etc. It's immature and we all know better but it's just fun to switch off and go with it sometimes. We know its all crap, and sometimes the crapiness makes it even 更多 fun. (E.g. City of 识骨寻踪 - the 爱情 interest... meant to be her brother. HILARIOUS and so bad it's just awesome)

We all can't stand Twilight anymore but it did start the trend and I'm happy for that.

I think it's a fun book to analyze. It reminds me of the media criticism- courses I attended at school. There's so many underlying messages and contradictions there.

Personally I also appreciate the fact that it opened my eyes as to how whiny and negative a person can be even if they're not complaining out loud. I try to look for the bright side of life 由 thinking that "wow, this is exactly what Bella would think" if I start to feel too negative about something. That certainly helps me to not get whiny!

No, 你 don't NEED to. But leading up to the seventh book, 你 sat and thought about what everything meant, try and figure out what was going on/what would happen. There was no reason to in Twilight - everything was cut and dry.

Well, I'm actually quite a bit of a fan, and I will say that many of the characters are good. I like most of the characters, though I'm starting to really dislike Bella and Edward. Though the sparkling is a bit lame, I will admit, I do think that having powers is a very interesting thing. And it's also very fun to analyze.

TeamSiriusBlack said:
I guess it teaches kids abstinence?
One of the reasons I hate Twilight is that Bella gets pregnant at 18. She's too young for that (I think so) so it teaches people the concept of no sex when you're a teenager becasue most aren't reay. She certainly wasn't. (Especially with a demon baby.)

On the surface, yes, it promotes abstinence. Yet, at the same time it doesn't because Bella is horny for Edward troughout the series. Basically the message is: if 你 爱情 somebody it means 你 are obsessed with having sex with them up to the degree of having them blackmail 你 into marriage. And if 你 really 爱情 someone 你 let that person decide everything when it comes to sex. Girls identify with Bella, not Edward - if they start putting their sexuality to the boy's hands, chances are the boy's aren't going to say no like Edward did.

That the 吸血鬼 aren't dressed in stereotypical black leather and red clothing. To be honest after watching the 电影院 and 阅读 the 图书 thats the only thing i can think of that's actually good about twilight! :)oh and also charlie, because in the 电影院 he's normal, and he creates a different atmosphere rather than the sci fi, dark, vampire stuff. (Not a very good word stuff, but i wasn't sure what to type) He also sometimes brings a bit of humour.

Leah Clearwater.

She was the only likeable character in my opinion. I felt sorry for her that she never got her own happily ever after (I hate 你 for that SMeyer). I don't know why the pack thinks she's a bitch. She had every right to feel that way. At least she didn't try to kill herself when Sam left her (*cough* Jacob *cough*)

As for the bloodsuckers, Jasper was cool, but mostly because Jackson Rathbone. I don't really like Alice after the way she treated Jake in New Moon.

Some people just can't see through the books, I guess. I understand. I was like that at first, but eventually, I got to understand SOME good qualities there to Twilight. One way the series is good is that it's creative in ways. Meyer decided to make 吸血鬼 sparkle. I know what you're thinking: "How stupid is that?! 吸血鬼 don't sparkle!"

But the fact that 吸血鬼 exist allows the possibility of vampire qualities to expand widely. There is no limitation to what 你 can make 吸血鬼 do. Meyer is someone who was daring enough to jump out of the "coffin-sleeping, burns-into ashes-by-the-sun, murderous vampires" scenario, and made 吸血鬼 who shine in the light and can control themselves and fit into society if they want to. While some think of it as ridiculous, I and some others might find it as interesting and creative.

In my personal opinion, there are a few little gems in The Twilight Saga that seem to shine through the gushy romance, and baseball (._.) and a lack of plot. To keep it nice and simple, here's a list:

1. The Best Book is the Book 你 Relate To ~ The Twilight Saga is written in first person, that makes it easier for people to put themselves in Bella's place. When 你 do that, it becomes magically wonderful.
2. It Makes 你 Think ~ Admit it, when 你 first read the passage where Edward sparkles like a shiny sparkle rainbow, 你 thought about it long afterward. I know I did, especially the whole dynamic in the Southern Vampire Wars, and the Volturi, for a time, it fascinated me. That makes it memorable, that captures your imagination, which makes it good.

Well I'm not a 粉丝 anymore, but when I first read the 图书 I liked them.

I guess I liked them because they appealed to my inner-girlyness thing. It was a bit like 阅读 a crappy romance book, when 你 read it a 秒 time and think about it, it's not that great. But the thing about twilight is, it's not meant to be read then thought about. It is essentially a crappy romance book that 你 read when 你 are feeling down.

...I'm trying to say it's not a very good noval,as when 你 read a noval 你 want to be not only entertained, but also be thinking, 你 know trying to figure characters out and the plot. Twilight would have been better off as a single, shorter story....

And I think I strayed from the original point

ok, I am 30 years old and I read the series and loved them. Now, maybe it is due to my years 或者 I think too hard but to me it is so much 更多 than just a story. My 最喜爱的 thing about it is the one liners. I laughed so much. Also, it made me think about a lot of spiritual issues. The idea that one person fulfills all your needs is so wrong on so many levels. It is fun to read but it reminds me that as a Christian only 耶稣 as a right to be my center. It made me think about how the way Bella can see so much 更多 clearly as a vampire, that is how it is going to be in heaven. The clarity. The idea of suffering for love, I thought of Christ dying on the cross...Now I am not mormon and I know the 作者 is and I have heard that is why she focused so much on the marriage being the end all to happiness (they believe that people are married in heaven) but as a Christian, I was struck with all the illustrations of Christian doctrine in the book. Also some of the pitfalls of human females when it comes to lust...

Firstly, I'm not going to claim that Twilight is good. I don't believe that 图书 can be "good" 或者 "bad". 你 can have good/bad literature, because that can be measured objectively, but not good/bad books. Whether 或者 not someone likes a book is based on personal preferences. It's too subjective :) It wouldn't make sense for me to say "Twilight is good because it has these elements", just like it wouldn't make sense for 你 to say "Twilight is bad because it has these elements". We can only say "I like/dislike Twiight because it has these elements, which I personally like/do not like".

So I will do my best to explain logically why I like Twilight :)

I 爱情 the characters. Characters are the most important part of a story to me. They have to be funny, humour is important. They have to be the kind of people I would be 老友记 with in real life, and the Twilight characters are!

I also enjoy SM's vampires. I 爱情 the air of mystery, and kind of dark glamour they have.

Also I'm a romantic, so of course the romance is appealing :) Especially Alice and Jasper's relationship. That's the kind of relationship I will have.

It's just nice to read, I guess. It's kind of exciting. I honestly have no logical reasons that I can think of right now. Ask the fourth-grader-me, the girl who was on a Twilight obsession kick. I'm sure she'll have some good reasons.
