I have been analyzing the reasons that girls, myself included, are so drawn to edward cullen....why is it so easy to wish that this fictional killer is real. WARNING : some of these thoughts will only be appreciated by the female gender. ALSO I am quite in ernest when i get to the end and have some spiritual parrallels. Edward Cullen: 1. He's beautiful- they describe like an angel. What girl in her right mind wouldn't love that!
2. He is protective - in a day and age that a girl has to worry about whether her guy is a boy or a man, that is highly attractive. she is secure, she is safe
3. He is superhuman - umm duh!! wouldn't you like to ride on his back while he runs?? but this also means superhuman strength to...nothing can hurt you
4. He is sacrificial - he would rather give up his own life and happiness to make her life better
5. He sparkles!!!! - no explanation needed!! ;)
6. He is a gentleman - he grew up in the early 1900...he has all the manners and old fashion ideals from that time
7. He has self control/discipline
8. He is not human - there is something (i think this is a huge part of the draw even toward these book and that life) supernatural about the cullens. Not in an occult or creep way, they are not normal. They do not live a petty life. I think as christians we see all this and our spirit craves that supernatural, superhuman world that we were meant to live. We even crave a lover that is so beautiful and perfect that won't let us down,....that can protect us through all odds. So off course..not trying to be cheesy....but i had been praying as i read these books why i was so overwhelmingly drawn to him, only to be reminded that we have a lover that can protect us from anything, that is superhuman, that is even more beautiful then the angels. and he loves me more then life itself. He was ultimately sacrificial. soo yeah those are my pent up thoughts about edward cullen. |
