Comments on: Stephenie Meyer Says Bella Swan Was Not Based on Herself http://www.twilightseries.ca/stephenie-meyer/stephenie-meyer-bella-swan/ Ultimate Twilight Saga Fansite Dedicated to Twilight Movies and Books by Stephenie Meyer Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:15:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Random http://www.twilightseries.ca/stephenie-meyer/stephenie-meyer-bella-swan/comment-page-1/#comment-27721 Random Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:37:14 +0000 http://www.twilightseries.ca/?p=268#comment-27721 Only just read this. Bella, more mature than she was at that age?? Dear lord, she must have burnt down her school or something. Bella spends the entirety of New Moon being suicidal, and stressing her utter worthlessness without her vampiric lover's presence. The fact she even "fell in love" with the "sparkly golden topaz eyes/white glistening chest/bronze hair/solid gold poop" - Aah! None of it makes sense! Twelve year old's write better self-inserts! At least their ones occasionally have backbones! Only just read this. Bella, more mature than she was at that age?? Dear lord, she must have burnt down her school or something.

Ms Swan is not "mature" at all, she's the most clingy, needy, self-absorbed excuse for a character to tarnish the world of literature. Really, Meyer is only insulting herself by saying Bella is more mature than her. Since when was Bella "forced to be an adult"? Just because she plays housewife when living with her dad? Because both her parents are unfairly portrayed as incompetent to make her own weak character look better? Please... For the record, having a vampire falling in love with you would NEVER be desirable, I can't believe people actually say that, fiction or no fiction. Vampires are DEAD. Unless you're necrophiliac, just WHAT is the appeal of a dead person?? Seriously, it's like Meyer expects us all to agree with her that vampires are better than humans, period. All this series does is try to force down readers' throats that the "vampires" are so much better than humans in every single way - it really gets tedious after half a page or so. I hope someone has asked Meyer about why Bella looks exactly like her, down to the eyebrows and widow's peak - would she admit it THEN, or would she put it off with "I had my own image of Bella, brunette is a common hair color anyway, I really just based her off the average girl so readers could relate to her"... again, PLEASE. What a complete insult to the intelligence of readers in general. What a load of tripe.
