Is Edward a stalker? (poke at humor, no offense intended)

posted by EdwardxBella4ev

So, I noticed that on many Edward and Bella sites I go on have at least one artikel related to Edward being a stalker. But is it true?

Edward can be viewed as a stalker, in some ways:
1. He and Bella spend all their time together.
2. He insists on driving her to school every day.
3. He has switched his classes so he can be in most of the same periods as her.
4. They sit together at lunch everyday (though I'm not sure this really counts, because it's Bella's choice.)
5. He watches Bella sleep--enough said.
6. He insists on marriage (though in the books, Eclipse specifically, this point is gegeven a logical reason. Edward wants to marry Bella because he loves her, he's a stalker, and because he wants to save his virtue.)

But the truth is he became a stalker because he loves Bella. And Bella loves him. Isn't that what counts most of all?

Dragonclaws Vampires have long been used as sexual objects in rape fantasies. Edward fits into that general trend as a bad boy stalker, unrealistic in that he also fulfills the part of perfect boyfriend. I'd say he's a stalker, but it's okay because it's a fantasy.

EdwardxBella4ev Yes, I noticed that too. Though I do not see why vampires are used in that way, I don't find them at all sexy (besides Edward, of course) and really Edward does in a certain view, though while I read the books I was thinking "how could people really envision Edward unashamedly stalking/raping Bella, don't they see that he loves her and that's why he became a crazy, angst-y stalker?", which is what inspired me to write this short little humor-based article. If you read the Midnight Sun draft Stephenie has posted on her website, you can see Edward's torn mood throughout the book Twilight. (he loves her, he wants her to love him, but he feels it is wrong.) I also think Edward is a stalker. But he could stalk me any time. Lol.
