Character Analysis

Twilight

            The main characters in the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer are very interesting. The main characters are Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. Bella Swan is definitely an analyzer. Bella loves factual information because it helps her to do her best work. She likes to know all of the viewpoints of things before she embarks on a course of action. She is always analyzing everything. She analyzes herself, and the people around her. She especially analyzes her boyfriend Edward. “I vividly remember the flat black color of his eyes the last time he’d glared at me – the color was striking against the background of his pale skin and his auburn hair. Today, his eyes were a completely different color: a strange ocher, darker than butterscotch, but with the same golden tone.” (pg. 46). In this quote Bella analyzes Edward’s eye color and how it changes. She does this a lot in the book. I also think Bella is a supporter. She is a very sweet and compassionate. She loves to help people and doesn’t like to make people sad or mad. She is also very emotional. She gets her feeling hurt a lot in the book. “The angry tears rolled over my cheeks… “This is completely ridiculous. Why are you crying?” Edward demanded in frustration.” (pg. 485).  Bella starts to cry because Edward is taking her to the prom, and she hates dancing. Bella can get upset over things that are not worth getting upset over.

            Edward Cullen was my favorite character in the book. He is a very sweet and nice guy, who loves Bella. I would say Edward is a supporter, but also a controller. He is a supporter because he supports everything that Bella wants. He is very empathetic towards her. He also gets his feelings hurt very easily. He doesn’t always think through what Bella says. Bella could say something that isn’t mean or sad at all, but Edward will take it that way. He is a controller because he has complete power over Bella. He is very worried about her because she is very clumsy, so he tends to be a little over protective. He also gets jealous very easily so he tries to control who she sees, although that doesn’t always work. ““I’m so sorry if there’s been some kind of miscommunication, but Bella is unavailable tonight.” ( pg. 483). Edward’s tone changed, and the threat in his voice was suddenly much more evident as he continued. “To be perfectly honest, she’ll be unavailable every night, as far as anyone besides myself is concerned.” Edward is being kind of rude to one of Bella’s guy friends in this quote. Edward does this to a lot of Bella’s friends that are not girls. So I believe Bella is an analyzer and a supporter and Edward is a supporter and a controller.
