Edward Bella.

I was reading the wikipedia page on Breaking Dawn, where a magazine criticizes "Bella's "unwavering passion for Edward" and having no other goals".
Although i've learned not to take to heart bad criticism against stuff i like - like total ignore - what the person said gave me a "food for thought", if i may say so.

You see, i think the reason why Twilight's Edward and Bella's love story is just so... intriguing and attractive to all of us "mere mortals", is because of how they dare to love with no boundaries.

Society sets us such that i daresay are there anyone who dare to love like them nowadays? Nothing else or nobody else, but only their opposite self.
This is the reality. Bella is right when she said that nobody loves him as much as she does. I doubt there's anyone in this world who could love like Edward and Bella. Yeah, maybe when it just started, the burning passionate first love and all... but as time goes, will it still be? This is reality, mind.

I hate to be so reality-wise - prefer to live in my own world if possible - but i have to come to face the facts. The critique who says about Bella not having any other goals... gosh, he or she must be a sad person! Don't you think it's beautiful how Edward and Bella just dare to love like that?
The relationship and love they had for one another is beautiful beautiful because it's fiction. They have no other worries in life, so yeah, just go ahead and love!

I guess also because you know how the love is two way, and there are no need for insecurities there. Can there be such love in reality? With no worries over each other's families, third-parties, etc etc?

That's why the stories are beautiful. I love how Edward and Bella proclaim their love for each other, without the slightest fear of insecurity. Even better than Romeo and Juliet, because they don't die, and can't die.
Well, i don't find it that great to die for love honestly (unless it's for Edward Cullen), i think it's silly. Then again, i think it could be "reality" telling me to *think* it's silly, because i want to grip on reality and not let emotions run me.

So seriously, i understand different people different opinion lar... but that critique seriously got to feel younger and dream a bit. She's being too realistic already. Isn't the point of a fiction novel, especially one for young adults, to let ourselves free in our own imagination world once in a while, without the fear of reality?
