<p>About why I accuse Edward Cullen of such things?</p>

<p>Well. He treats Bella like a child who has no self control and patronizes her like he ALWAYS knows best, controls her friendships (he’s dangerous himself, WHY would he keep harping on about Jacob’s danger factor?!). I mean, Bella has to SNEAK OUT to see Jacob because she’s afraid of Edward’s reaction. He sort of treats her like she’s this rebellious teenager and he’s a wise old man. Not to mention the sex bruises. Um, hello, there’s a word for it - physical abuse. I could go on.</p>

<p>Don’t even get me started on Bella.</p>

<p>If you were talking about my “tons of guys like that” comment…lol, I don’t have anecdotal evidence, so sorry to arouse any voyeuristic curiosity.</p>

122

<p>Well, Edward is a wise old man ;)</p>

123

<p>Interesting points, Quasi. Or shall i say, PROFOUND points, Quasi. HAHHA i crack myself up.</p>

124

<p>@Quasi
But aren’t those the qualities that make Edward perfect… or… imperfect? Looks like I need to examine my idea of perfection :P</p>

125

<p>Yeah, this is what happens when you read Twilight four years ago and had your pre-teen mind warp everything around. Your perceptions get distorted.</p>

<p>If I re-read it now, I’ll probably see less perfection in the dude.</p>

<p>/my story</p>

126

<p>Well, by the time I read twilight I had passed out of my teen years :wink: so no damage done.</p>

127

<p>Wait, so you WANT a guy to treat you like he’s a God and you’re some stupid little child who doesn’t know anything? </p>

<p>The way SM lingers on Edward’s qualities - like his physical perfection and his omniscience (ie mindreading) and his immortality - sort of makes ‘Edward Cullen’ another way to say God doesn’t it? Evidence of a patriarchal way of thinking - “Bella, I’m perfect and divine, so do what I tell you to mwahahaahaha!” - right there which also sort of ****es me off. And also the fact that his whole life supposedly consists of Bella - there’s a term for it. Dependant personality disorder. And he’s BORING. I don’t want a relationship in which all that we do is smell each other and say, “You are my life now.” I’d want to discuss a few other things SOMETIMES - God, even talking about the last movie they saw would have been a nice change.</p>

128

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh yes.</p>

<p>10char</p>

129

<p>I have never laughed so much. And no, I do not want a guy who’d treat me like an incapable kid, but yeah a mature guy sounds nice (which is a myth and which is why I read SM)</p>

130

<p>Actually…I do know a couple of mature guys!</p>

131

<p>^I want. I want. I want. I want. I want.</p>

<p>Grrr someone make me concentrate on reading Lawrence instead of floating around cyberspace looking for pictures of him please.</p>

132

<p>Quasi, if you don’t read Lawrence, you…err…won’t do well tomorrow. And that would be bad for Amherst! :O</p>

133

<p>You do?? I have not come across a single guy who is semi mature!!!</p>

<p>And what is Lawrence??</p>

134

<p>D.H. Lawrence, I presume?</p>

135

<p>^Yep. He’s one of my favourite poets when I don’t have to memorize his poems for an exam.</p>

<p>Not a fan of his prose though.</p>

136

<p>I’ve only heard of him because he was a rather controversial character.</p>

137

<p>anyone written October SAT?</p>

138

<p>Some folks on the Class of 2014 thread.</p>

139

<p>Yeah, he basically wrote ‘artistic’ pornography.</p>

140

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh my god, who are you, why do you rock so hard. This is exactly what I think of Twilight, this, word to word. Edward is an emotionally abusive b**tard, and SM’s basically written twilight as her personal sex fantasy. Ugh.</p>
