The Unheard Looks at The Undead

Edward vs. Jacob: whose side are YOU on?

by TwilightLover21

The story of Edward and Bella, the better version of Romeo and Juliet, Twilight is a romantic story about forbidden love and the horrors of its cast, especially between a human mortal and a vampire. Bella is a mortal who meets a vampire in the midst of high school, falling for his deep demonic and beautiful black eyes which change colors all the time. Then there’s Edward a strong and very fast vampire trying to get a glimpse of the human world. He falls for Bella and struggles against the overwhelming scent that attracts him to her. The struggle makes him go crazy.

Their love starts in junior year for Bella, although Bella and Edward are so different but so in love. Edward believes that if he keeps Bella too close, he’ll end up turning his only love to the monstrous side, a vampire. But Bella has no fear when it comes to Edward because she would rather die and become a vampire than be a mortal and grow old without Edward.

Little does Bella know that in Edward’s own eyes he’s a monster. When he thirsts his eyes are monsterious and his teeth sharpen. The look on his face screams evil. He’s stronger, so strong he can snap Bella like a twig, he’s fast so fast he’s invisible to the human eye. But to Bella that does not matter. Even though Edward sees himself as a weapon of death, Bella’s love for Edward still goes on.

The question many people are asking is: Why is the Twilight series SO popular? I believe that it is popular for a variety of reasons. People like the “Halloween” movies and vampires. They also like drama and doing stuff that they’re not supposed to, but they do it anyway. Teenagers also love romance. Stephanie Meyer put all these things together in one book.

Teenagers also enjoy arguing about who Bella should go with: Edward or Jacob.

I have a strong opinion about this question. Why would Bella even consider being with Jacob, when first of all Bella only met Jacob when she was young, therefore she doesn’t even remember him that well. Jacob is basically nothing but an old trustworthy friend of Bella. When you read the story you realize that all Jacob shows for Bella is friendship, while Edward protects Bella with all his strength and shares his life, secrets, and shows Bella just how much he cares about her even though it’s not for the best. Edward is the one that saves Bella from mischief and danger, and goes through the horrors of keeping Bella close to him while endangering himself and his secret of keeping Forks from finding out that the 17 year old god (Edward) that they all love is a blood sucking monster. But for all its worth Jacob will always be nothing but a friend, while Edward has true, unfulfilled, long lasting love for Bella that will go on for eternity. No matter how much Jacob seems to love Bella, he’ll never! love her as much as Edward loves her.

For all of you Twilight fans out there, as you can you can see I will always be for Bella and Edward forever! Now the question is, who do you think Bella should share her love with?
