The Twilight Saga

The Twilight Saga has taken hold of fans across the world! It makes young girls weep, adult women lust after younger men and it has made many men JEALOUS. But what is the real pull to the Twilight Saga? Is it the brooding Robert Pattinson or the perfectly bronzed Taylor Lautner? Is it the storyline? For one Twihard fan, I can tell you it's the storyline all the way. Don't get me wrong, the guys are nice to look at, but there has to be more than that to keep me interested for two hour periods of time. I think many female readers especially can identify with Bella's character. Who hasn't felt at one point that they are just average? Who hasn't had their heart broken? Who hasn't doubted their worthy of a person's love? Who hasn't done irrational things for love before? Who hasn't wanted to be involved in a love triangle and fought over? Who doesn't want to be protected at all times? Who doesn't want to spend forever with the love of their life? Meyer's stories appeal to females because she touches upon the very things we have at some point felt in our life. Some people feel Bella's character is too weak and her entire existence revolves around Edward and her love for him. What female hasn't felt this way, especially when you fell in love for the first time? So for me it really is the storyline that draws me to this saga time and time again.
