Twilight Discussion Questions.

So this one isn't found in the back of the book. I found it somewhere online yesterday, and I don't remember where. So thank you, whoever you are, for providing these questions.

Edward really is unlike any human guy – even his breath is intoxicating! What do you make of the criticism that Twilight gives young female readers unrealistic expectations of men?

It's kind of interesting, I've been saying this very thing about romance novels in general for quite some time. I've read my fair share of romance novels. I mean A LOT of them. They're all very unrealistic. The way men are portrayed in these books is almost always completely fairy tale. Lets face it, not even women act the way these men do in these stories.

However, I don't think Twilight is any worse then any other love story. In fact, it should be easier for young girls and women alike, to grasp that it is just a fairy tale, considering Edward is a mythical creature and all. It doesn't get anymore unrealistic then that.

I think a lot of the expectations that are taken away from romance novels is mostly naivety. However there are still women who can't find a man at all, because they're searching for an Edward Cullen. It's sad really, but it's life. I did the same thing for a while when I was in my romance novel phase. I always went away thinking, why can't guys be that way in the real world. I now realize, that just isn't the way things are, in the real world.
