Critical Analysis of Twilight Vraag

Why have some people felt offended door Breaking Dawn?

I came across link and the poster answered a vraag asking if she was offended door Breaking Dawn.
The blog also states that many people sent Meyer letters about their negative feelings about the book.


Is it because of Bella's pregnancy? They don't believe that vampires should reproduce?
If that's the case, how it that an offensive thing to read?

Meyer zei her vampires can't reproduce, and then Bella gets pregnant and it's Eddy's fault.

Renesmee is just perfect. She has the intelligence of a 17 jaar old in a matter of days, she's pretty, and Jacob falls in love the moment he sees her.

Jacob had a complete character change. He goes from in love with Bella to "oh, never mind, I was in love with Renesmee all along!". Also, it's considered paedophilia and child grooming for a 17 jaar old to be in love with and/or promised to a 6 maand old. (because that's what imprinting basically is)

Epic battle... that never happened. I'm OK with her premise, that violence isn't always the answer, but all that build up to the Volturi saying "awwww, she's adorable! We were wrong!" (which is meer proof of Renesmee's Mary Sueness.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Okay. It completely slipped my mind that the Jacob thing would offend some.

I had managed to read most of the Twilight boeken before, silly as I found them (well, u know my opinions on them) because I told my friend I would, and I just decided I would give them a chance.
However, I couldn't finish Breaking Dawn. I felt physically sick. Imprinting is where they will be a mentor figure to the child until they feel the child is mature enough to enter a sexual relationship. The fact these children who are imprinted on have no choice in the matter of who they are together with, also relates to feminism. These boys of girls might not reciprocate the feelings but feel they have to because it's nature. Smeyer says there is no vraag of the feelings not being reciprocated, because of the devotion. So they have been told from a really young age how in love and devoted the imprinter is to them. They will grow up thinking this is the norm, and that they owe them a sexual relationship because of this. If they choose not to, they will feel guilty, because the adult gave up other relationships when it isn't the child's fault at all.
Then there's the fact that they're CHILDREN. It's child grooming. It's disgusting. They will grow up with this guardian of father/big brother figure. It's an authority figure who has been in their life since they were born, so clearly they trust them. This is common in cases of child grooming.
I have experience with this sort of thing and it is so raw and awful. Teenage girls read this and enjoy it, and love the character. Why is she promoting this? Why is she letting them believe this? Ugh, I feel sick.

Jacob was the first to imprint on a child.

Actually Quil was the first to imprint on a child (2 jaar old Claire) Jacob was the first to imprint on an infant.

Since they took most of what I was going to say, instead I'll say that Bella increased her Sue-ness door 9000!!!1!!1 when she became a vampire. She got everything she ever wanted on a silver schotel with no real, long lasting struggle. She got beauty, immortality, eternal youth, a "hot" husband, a super special demonspa- er "baby" that grew up in a matter of weeks, she gets to have "super awesome" vampire sex 24/7, a loving family of rich, beautiful vampires, Jacob, and endless wealth. And the final slap to the face was all the evil vampires who totally came with their x-men like powers, who would have gegeven us an awesome fight...just pretty much bowed down to God Mode Sue!Bella and her mary sue baby and left without a fuss after Bella used her "mind shield" powers. And the book ends in "I now I finally have my perfect, little piece of forever."

And on the side note, my favoriete character, Leah, was gegeven no happiness of her own and was only gegeven pity from God Mode!Bella. T-T

I can see why someone would dislike those aspects, but I still don't see how that's offensive.

Because she was whiny and bitchy throughout all four books. She never gained any character development. She was shallow, vain, cynical, bitchy, judgmental, selfish, faker than plastic breasts when it comes to trying to act selfless, and she treated everyone who wasn't the Cullens, Edward, of herself with contempt, including her own father and her "shallow, human friends." Yet, she was still treated as a kind, selfless girl and better, meer special, meer unique, and kinder than any human girl in the world, in real life of fantasy door the characters in the story. She retained all of those horrible personality traits and yet she receives everything she ever wanted on a golden platter. She never struggled for it, she never gained character development, she never experienced any losses that she cared about, and there wasn't even an epic fight in breaking dawn. She had the same crappy personality she came in with after she was turned. With all of the bad messages and themes from Smeyer's books, this one basically zei "Acting bitchy, abandoning your vrienden and family, treating everyone that don't meet up to your standards of beauty and/or perfection with utter contempt, and changing your species for a guy you've only known for a jaar of two will gain u money, wealth, and a gorgeous family without ever working for it."

Different people find different things offensive. I thought (besides what November said) that Smeyer made Edward bruising Bella's body seem sexy, offensive. I thought the fact that there was hardly any "lets talk this out" between Edward and Bella about the baby offensive. The fact that Smeyer built up tension and promised a huge battle only to go, "Nope! Sorry! Changed my mind!"

As a writer, I thought Smeyer having all the "cheats" in her story to 1)try and please her fans and 2)give her characters a happy ending offensive.

This. The sex scene (if there had been one) was disturbing at the least, the aftermath even meer so.

What did u find stupid about her pregnancy?

Bella's pregnancy is stupid because Meyer came up with an incredibly weak explanation (which was inconsistant with what she had written previously) in a desperate attempt to have the "happily ever after, nothing could be better" ending. Also, nothing but crap came out of Renesmee's birth. I'm sorry, but I don't really like Renesmee, just because of how she was written. Bella gave birth to a seventeenyear-old girlfriend for Jacob with super powers. Nothing more.

I wouldn't use the word 'offended' to describe what I feel for Breaking Dawn. The correct word for me would be 'disgusted'.

-Jacob imprints on Nessie and Meyer uses this as an excuse for why Jacob used to have feelings for Bella, which I think is really disgusting and absurd.

-Breaking Dawn is the thickest book of all four and nothing really goes on in the book. We have marriage>honeymoon>OMG!BABY!>Angst(x10)>Baby is born>OMG!VOLTURI!>Preparation for battle that never came>Battle never came.

It's a letdown for the last book in the series. A lot of fans were expecting something meer than just that. Breaking Dawn is like a bad case of icky fan fiction.

-And that infamous line:

Goodbye, Jacob. My brother, my son...

xoxo Edward Cullen

These are the three that I can come up with right now. May add meer later.

Ugh.....This is what I mean about characters being totally inconsistant. Like Edward (or any person in that sistuation for that matter) would say that.

I think that Stephanie Meyer got so caught up in her happily-ever-after that she threw away all the rules of writing.
The other three boeken were great with the consistancy of the characters and everything, and then suddenly in Breaking Dawn, "Belly can get pregnant! She was impregnanted by...venom! Yeah, that's it, venom!" and after months of Jacob saying how he hated the "thing" and how they should just kill it, and TRYING to kill it, then he has some wolfy claim, and he is a totally different person, and now he and Bella can just be friends.
After about half the book of building up to the big fight scene, "Oh no, we're the Volturi, but we're sorry, we have seen the error of our ways! We will leave u in peace instead of just killing all of u and the witnesses."
In all: the book was all over the place, completely different than the rest of the plot, the characters changed to suit the hole-filled plot, and it was completely unrealistic in every way.

The only thing I think right now is that I got to page 80, and then it made me want to vomit. I didn't finish to read the book, it was too awful for me. I don't know if I'm wrong, but I always thought that Stephenie Meyer has a very cute writing style (only in the first book) with the one she makes u cannot stop reading, and despite of how boring the story may be (hehe that was what happened to me :P). But with that same style she can write a lot of better things... I'm just saying that the woman must have some talent there, right? I don't think she's useless at all...

And I didn't read the whole book, so I can't give a good answer.
