Right and Wrong...

... Another theme I picked up on in Twilight is the idea of doing what is best for those you love, instead of just doing what you want. After finishing Twilight, I started New Moon, its sequel, and the theme was present there even more than in Twilight. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone, but in New Moon, Edward begins to question the morality of him staying with Bella. He seems to wonder if it is truly loving towards her for him to be so present in her life when, first, he is mortally dangerous to her, and second, the reality is that their relationship can never really last. With him being immortal and a vampire, he and Bella can never have a future together. So it rises the question of weather it was right for him to let Bella into his life at all when it will ultimately cause her so much pain when they'll inevitably have to split. However, on the other hand, you could look at it from Bella's point of view. She sees the time she has spent with Edward priceless, and she seems to think that it is even worth the remorse she'll feel if he leaves. In reality, it probably wasn't right for Edward to engage Bella all the way back at the beginning of the year. . . but that wouldn't have made for a very good story. So, I guess I'll have to keep reading to see how the story plays out!!!
