But unfortunately, Bella survived the plunge.
I agree with the snark about Bella. But in fairness, it’s not really a sexist book — Edward couldn’t continue his life without Bella either.
And you do know that this is kind of the plot of Romeo and Julliet. Not saying that makes it good, just that Twilight isn’t the first book to imply that a couple in love is inexorably intertwined and cannot survive without each other.
Bella is a spineless sop of a character - useless without her man - defenseless until HE gives her power.
Hermione was smarter, worked harder, and fought harder than almost any other character in the books. Militarily and strategically she was the backbone of Harry's efforts against Voldemort.
Having read both series I consider the Harry Potter books to be a triumph of literary fiction and I consider the Twilight books to be teen relationship softcore - a half step up from a “romance” novel.
