old vampire literature. In Twilight, the main characters are good vampires. They have several human qualities and a conscience that sets them apart from the traditional vampires than were more supernatural beings than humans and with no conscience.

Danea hated Bella more than anyone in her

Edward Cullen is my favorite character in Twilight. He is a gorgeous vampire that is the love interest. He is good-hearted despite the fact that he thinks he is a monster. In the book he falls in love with main character, Bella. She is, in fact, a human. His primary goal in life is to protect Bella and the reason he so drawn to her is because he cannot read her mind. As a human Edward was very intuitive so when he was changed into a vampire his senses became stronger. That is why he has the ability

If I had to choose a fictional character to describe me, I would choose Bella from the The Twilight Saga. Throughout the whole series Bella shows bravery, care, and kindness, which are all qualities I use to describe myself. Also, some of her appearance is resembling to mine in many ways.

Through Bella’s life she moves to a new school. At

Vampires are a classic and incredibly versatile kind of monster across all kinds of media, certainly not just limited to videogames. A big part of that undoubtedly stems from how many cultures around the world have variations on the vampire present in their folklore – usually in the form of some sort of otherworldly something that swoops in and saps the life force of humans and/or animals before slipping off into the night when they've finished. Sometimes these beings are little more than monstrous

Natalie Wilson's essay, Civilized Vampires Versus Savage Wolves: Race and Ethnicity in the Twilight Series, deconstructs the different racial categories of Twilight and analyses the stereotypical differences included.
