Edward Cullen: Satisfying Your Secret Bad-Boy Complex?

December 14, 2008 · 2 Comments

Or not so secret, as the case may be.
Below are links to the interpretation of the modern Romeo + Juliet (namely, Bella Swan and Edward Cullen) by one of my favorite authors, Megan McCafferty.
The fact that she does not fall under the ‘obsessed teen-tween fangirl category’ already gives her brownie points. The remainder of the essay- written from a more critical but still irresistably Meyer-magnetized perspective- should serve to set its integrity in stone.

Whether or not you understood a word of what I just said, FOLLOW THESE LINKS IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
Which most of you don’t, but whatever; if you can identify Ctrl/Command-C + V on your keyboard, you are honor-bound (and Cullen-bound) to check this out.
[Spoiler Alert; Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer)]
