I am probably late for giving my take on Edward Cullen.. :( But as all my friends know that I am a BIG fan of Twilight Saga and Edward Cullen (robert pattinson); I thought I should pen down a thing or two. In fact I dedicate this post to my very sweet colleague and friend Zainab whose constant coaxing has made me do this!!
Ok..So here goes..
Romantic novels were not my favorites per se but since Twilight Saga came along I got hooked onto it. And now I have realised that I actually am a diehard romantic!! :)
Twilight; for those of you who dont know is a novel capturing the love between a human girl and a vampire boy!! Strange as it sounds its one of the best fantasy novels I have come across. The author Stephanie Meyer very beautifully captures the budding love, the complications and the dangers involved in the lives of Edward and Bella.
Bella is a very ordinary and clumsy girl or so she thinks about herself whereas Edward has god-like looks and he is a mind-reader in true sense. From the moment Bella sets her eyes on him something draws her constantly to him. And its the same with Edward only that what actually draws him towards her is his incapability to penetrate her mind and the potent scent of her blood.
Its a rather unusual backdrop for a romance but the author has very vividly written the entire series from Twilight till Breaking dawn. There is everything in it- romance, fantastic characters, action and a very good storyline. I feel like going on and on about it but I think I should conclude this by giving my take on Edward Cullen....
I am not sure whom I like exactly- Edward as a character or as Robert Pattinson.. LOL :)
But I am going to write about Edward as a character. Hhmm.. I really wish all guys could be like him. :) I am sure all girls who like Twilight saga would have the same opinion.
Edward has been portrayed as a bronze haired, slight and pale vampire boy!! He has god-like looks, very captivating voice and smell and is gifted with mind-reading ability.
What I like about his character the most is that he has a perfect blend of Strength, Sense and Sensitivity... By this I mean that he is portrayed to be a deeply compassionate and understanding individual. Yet he has the physical and emotional strength to be able to defend his family and his beliefs!! He is shown to be a learned and a balanced person. And his love towards Bella is completely selfless and unconditional. He can shower her with all the love and care and yet be fiercely protective of her.
Its amazing how his character has been carved. How I wish this was not a fantasy character!! :) I think he is the only fictional character who has won the hearts of millions of female readers.

Thanks for the post Dans.. I'd been waiting for this.
ReplyDeleteShe was the one who introduced me to the Twilight Saga, made me watch the movie read the book as well. I do not regret, even though it was not my kind of reading. And what more, I'm also following the series.
The biggest fan of Edward Cullen as I saw her, that's when I thought that there was nothing more worth than putting her thoughts through for him. Her description of Edward is exactly the way she feels for him.
Thanks for dedicating the post Ma'am.
