Vanillaice *there aren't any good new songs, so... I don't like how many times Edward manipulates her. I know Jacob did it once, but Edward never seems to stop doing it.

And then Bella just never really striked me as the right kind of character for so many people to fawn over, it just seemed like she never had a serious personality.

Queen Victoria may have spent a long time moping but she nearly lost her throne because of it and she pulled herself together pretty quickly when she realised how her peoples' opinions were turning.
A monarch is married to his or her country before anyone else and the well being of the country has to come before personal happiness. That's the duty you undertake at your coronation.
Throughout their marriage, which was certainly stormy, one source of tension between them was her refusal to allow him more authority in state administration. He felt useless but she knew that ministers would not take kindly to his interference and he was still regarded as a foreigner by many people. All through her life it Britain first and Albert a very close second.
In the same position I'd like to think I would do the same. Duty first, self second.

Mickey @Suzanne,

We were talking about people or fictional characters who grieved for more than a few months at the loss of a loved one. All the information you give does not change the fact that Queen Victoria still fits in that category.

Suzanne wrote, "...she pulled herself together pretty quickly when she realised how her peoples' opinions were turning."

After years of mourning, right? She still continued to mourn in certain ways for the rest of her life. She didn't even function as well as Bella, who at least went out. Where are you getting your information?

This is a summary from her biography about that time:
http://www.sparknotes.com/biography/v...

Some highlights:

Perhaps the most significant turning point in Queen Victoria's life was the death of Prince Albert in December 1861. His death sent Victoria into a deep depression, and she stayed in seclusion for many years, rarely appearing in public. She mourned him by wearing black for the remaining forty years of her life...She wrote to her daughter Victoria shortly afterwards: "How I, who leant on him for all and everything—without whom I did nothing, moved not a finger, arranged not a print or photograph, didn't put on a gown or bonnet if he didn't approve it shall go on, to live, to move, to help myself in difficult moments?..."

This [public] unease [with the ferocity of her mourning] was aggravated by Victoria's refusal to appear in public except on the rarest occasions. She made her first public appearance only on October 13, 1863, and then only to unveil a statue of Albert at Aberdeen, Scotland. She appeared publicly in London on June 21, 1864, riding out through the streets in an open carriage. She did not personally appear to open Parliament until the 1866 session, and then only reluctantly."



Just because a person loves deeply does not mean that they are weak and contemptible. The person I was responding to was questioning whether any woman, real or fictional, had ever mourned as deeply as Bella did.

Nurlely That is nice Mickey.
For your information, after Prince Albert passed away, Queen Victoria was not living with only her love for him. It was considered rumors, but John Brown was said as her lover. I do not think there will be any valid evidences recorded regarding this matter. It will ruin the opinion of Victoria mourning and had only in love with Prince Albert.

From Wikipedia:
After Albert died in 1861, Brown became Victoria's personal servant. She was so grateful for his service (and his manner toward her, which was much less formal than that of her other servants, though extremely protective of her) that she awarded him medals and had portrait paintings and statues made of him.

Victoria's children and ministers resented the high regard she had for Brown, and, inevitably, stories circulated that there was something improper about their relationship. The Queen's daughters joked that Brown was "Mama's Lover," while Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby wrote in his diary that Brown and Victoria slept in adjoining rooms "contrary to etiquette and even decency".

Additional from other sources:
Queen Victoria passed away with 2 rings on her fingers. Albert and John Brown.

So Bella is still a terrible sample of someone in love.

Mickey @Nurley,

I know about John Brown. What does that have to do with the discussion?

Are you saying that she couldn't have mourned while he was in the picture? Look at the relationship of Jacob and Bella, which, from the outside, might've looked romantic.


Nurlely @ Mickey

It does have relation to how Queen Victoria was not that 'deep' into her love with Prince Albert after he was gone.

Jacob and Bella? There is nothing romantic with their relationship. Their friendship is wonderful but the love part is annoying. Bella kept saying that it will always be Edward if she has to choose. And Jacob kept pushing himself.

Mickey I'm making a comparison between the possible relationships of Bella and Jacob and Queen Victoria and John Brown. It could've been similar; no one will ever know for sure.

From an outside observer, the relationship between Bella and Jacob was very close. Because we have insight into her thoughts, we know Bella was still in mourning over her relationship with Edward. We don't have that luxury with Victoria. We only know what others observed.

Why are you so determined to believe that Victoria was not in love with her late husband or that she did not mourn for him? What do you think it says about her that she could've been grief-stricken for years over losing him? I'm trying to understand people's objection to the idea that a person can get attached to another to the point of missing them terribly and feeling lost and incomplete when they're gone. Surely this isn't that uncommon.

Nurlely Comparing those couples is quite interesting. While Bella would switch her attention from Jacob anytime Edward showed up while Victoria would never have that luxury.

Bella and Jacob were probably close. It was a forever love with Jacob but secured feeling for Bella. Bella loved Jacob but it was never strong enough when Edward was still alive.

I did not say that Victoria was not in love with Albert after he died. She was probably in love with Albert and John at the same time. But Victoria was the monarch. As much as she loved John, she would never announce that feeling. Probably for her husband' sake but mostly for England' sake. She was never out of the Palace with some exception was probably because of her grief-stricken, but was maybe also for being with John. They could not be seen together, so being 'kept' in the Palace had some advantages.

Mickey Nurlely wrote: "Comparing those couples is quite interesting. While Bella would switch her attention from Jacob anytime Edward showed up while Victoria would never have that luxury"

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. We are discussing Bella's behavior in New Moon, when Edward leaves and whether it is realistic (if others, fictional or real, have done the same thing before).

Victoria obviously grieved deeply for Albert. If, several years later, she developed some sort of relationship with someone else, it doesn't negate the fact that she spent years (and possibly decades) in deep mourning. (A new relationship doesn't necessarily mean you're over an old one, after all. Look at Bella.) The criteria that was given to me was to find people who mourned for over four months. That was definately over four months. It was well over four years before the Brown rumors started.

I feel like I'm being asked to explain something very elementary and it seems bizarre because, to me, it's perfectly natural. People get attached to others. There are people who, if they died or if in some other way I 'lost' them, I would be devastated. I'm not simply talking about romantic attachments, but to all kinds of attachments. I think most people are the same. I suppose, in some ways, having such attachments to others could be seen as a weakness, but without those attachments, you wouldn't really be quite human, would you? If I read a story of someone who could simply shrug her shoulders and move on after losing someone she loved, I would probably find that more disturbing and unnatural than someone who spirals into a depression.

Nurlely Bella is a bad sample (example, sorry:) )of a teenager falling in love. She felt happy (thrilled) of having her boyfriend in her bedroom. She wanted to die for losing Edward and did everything so dangerous in order to be able to see 'Edward'. Love isn't all fun but it does not all about dying when you lose one.

Surely you can have your own opinion regarding Bella. For me Bella is an annoying character. She can not see things clearly when Edward is gone.


message 218: by Mickey (last edited Sep 22, 2011 10:45PM) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Mickey It depends on what you mean by 'example'.

If you mean, is it realistic, then she's actually a good example. Women are generally thrilled to have their boyfriends in their bedrooms. Women are generally depressed when their relationships end. (Although I don't think Bella wanted to die, where are you getting that?) Young people in general are known for feeling and acting as if they are indestructible and for doing risky things. These are all pretty common.

I think what you might be saying is that she is not a good role model, which is a separate issue. Realistic portrayals are rarely the same as ideal portrayals. In literature today, novelists usually prefer to write realistic characters to ideal characters.


Nurlely Women are thrilled to have their boyfriends in their bedrooms? Where did you get this?

Teenagers, as Bella is not an adult, are not supposed to feel anything but terrified.
Bella did not want to do anything for months. That is not what people do when they want to live. And what would you call jumping from a cliff is? Bella is not a were, who will heal easily. Teenagers might feel the whole world has befallen them but they do not go with a scary stranger in a motorbike.

Bella is a bad example of a teenager in love. Lots of Twilight teen fans would think that it is okay to do what Bella did when you are in love.

Lisa Hahha, this post makes me laugh.
I admit, I LOVED Twilight for a while. Then it got too hyped up and now I'm kind of neutral. I can't say I love it or I hate it.
Personally I don't think it's that well written, but it's a hell of a lot better than I could do, so I still give her credit.
Yeah, it got incredibly big. People love it. Others hate it. But isn't that the same with everything else? For example, I am absoluteely in LOVE with Harry Potter but I know some people who could never get into the books 'cause they were "boring". That doesn't mean it's a horrible book, it's just their opinion. I guess what I'm saying is it's all about perception. You might not like it, but other people think it's amazing. So that's why it's big.
(Sorry, I'm pretty sure this doesn't all make sense, I'm incredibly exhausted and I'm sick.. so don't blame me, hehe! You get the main idea though..)


Nurlely I like Twilight. I like Edward, Carlisle, Jasper & Seth characters. I do not feel the same with its sequels. SM should have written romance series. Her fantasy part is weird and funny. The ending of the series is a total mess. Why did Jacob need his love of life's baby mated to him? For the fans? And I wanted to throw up reading the part where Edward called Jacob 'son'.

Experience. I think if you step back a little from that sentence, you'll see what I'm talking about without me having to explain it. What you probably meant was 'Women who find uninvited men in their bedrooms should feel terrified (or at least annoyed, even if they want them there), not happy.' The fact is: Bella wanted him there, and she handled it the way she handled it.

Nurley wrote: "Bella did not want to do anything for months. That is not what people do when they want to live.And what would you call jumping from a cliff?"

This just isn't true. Just because you're depressed and moping doesn't necessarily mean you're suicidal. I would call jumping off a cliff reckless behavior. What evidence is there that she was suicidal at that moment? She didn't intend to die. We know that.

I don't agree with your idea that now teenagers will act crazy when they are in love because of Twilight. Generations upon generations of teenagers have done it before Meyer was even born. They don't need anyone's permission.

No we do not know that. Bella did not care about the result. She only cared for one thing. To see Edward again. She did not die not because it was never the case but because Jacob was there to save her. Even Jacob was shocked enough with her action. No human beings jumped from that cliff. Only ones who become shifters do. Because of the height and the stream.

Did I say that? I said they will think it is okay. But their brain probably are not as clouded as Bella. Generation upon generation? LOL! Which generation? The Romeo and Juliet or else? They are not living the same lives as teenagers nowadays. There are fanatic -too young fans- nowadays who think characters from books are real.

I believe she was actually 17, not 18. Our reactions may be a cultural difference. A 17 year old American girl having her boyfriend in her room is not generally a terrifying experience to her.


Nurlely wrote: " Even Jacob was shocked enough with her action. No human beings jumped from that cliff. Only ones who become shifters do. Because of the height and the stream."

According to the book, Jacob offered to take her cliff jumping. It's not that humans didn't or couldn't jump off. Jacob was shocked because Bella did it when a storm was brewing and the water was less calm than usual.

Teenagers aren't any different now than they were 50 years ago. Human nature doesn't change. They aren't any more or less gullible than they ever were. I'd say every generation has people that act crazy when they're in love. I shouldn't even limit it to teenagers. If, by crazy, we mean those who are upset for more than four months after a breakup, I think every age group would apply.

She's got her birthday. You surely forgot her birthday incident. Based on what you said, American girls are okay with a boyfriend inside their bedroom in the middle of the night, watching them sleep. Wow!...

Jacob would protect Bella. Storm or not, it is not likely that Jacob will let Bella jump on her own.

They surely are. People change. Teenagers from 50 years ago are different with teenagers nowadays. They may be fall in the same 'trap' of love, but they act differently.

Mickey I figured you were talking about when she first found out he was in her bedroom, which happened before her birthday (which was at the beginning of New Moon). They'd been regularly spending the night together from Twilight on.

I think I can safely say that a large percentage of American girls would be okay with their boyfriends being in their bedrooms. Bella certainly was and I don't think she's unusual in that. I'm curious as to what you find so objectionable. It can't be sex, since Edward ruled that out. Cuddling? Humming lullabies?

Nurlely wrote: "They surely are [different]. People change. Teenagers from 50 years ago are different with teenagers nowadays. They may be fall in the same 'trap' of love, but they act differently."

How so?


Nurlely My objection was for Bella to feel happy when Edward appeared in her bedroom. She may be in love with him, but to feel happy? She should have been worried and scared, at least a bit. And love can be also shown in lots of different ways outside the bedroom.

Mickey wrote: "How so? "

Why do you think lots of parents think so? Parents with teenagers. Or in this case, with 50 years distinction, grandparents with grandchildren. You can goggle their worries down.

Mickey Are you saying her reaction isn't realistic? To find your boyfriend in your room would be more scary than thrilling? (Those feelings are not mutually exclusive, of course.)


Nurley wrote:" Why do you think lots of parents think so? Parents with teenagers. Or in this case, with 50 years distinction, grandparents with grandchildren. You can goggle their worries down."

I haven't the slightest idea how teenagers are different now than they were fifty years ago. You made that statement and I disagreed. So, I asked you why you thought so. I'll ask again, how are teenagers different now?


Nurlely For the first time? Nope, not exactly. They were not that close that time. She should have at least screamed.

Mickey wrote: "Teenagers aren't any different now than they were 50 years ago. "

They act and react differently due to their era. One example, 50 years ago, if a girl got pregnant, she can have a secret abortion or marries the guy. Now, a girl can keep their baby. 50 years ago, how many girls had sex before a marriage? What about now?

You can be diligent and google down the information.

Bella and Edward didn't have sex until after they were married, so I don't know how that fits in with Twilight being a bad example for this generation.


Nurlely Mickey wrote: "Bella and Edward didn't have sex until after they were married, so I don't know how that fits in with Twilight being a bad example for this generation. "

Bella is a bad example of a girl in love. She was not worried or a bit scared of having Edward in her bedroom for the very first time. And for endangering herself because she lost Edward. Teenagers who watched Romeo and Juliet would not rush in riding a motorbike with a total stranger.

As for your opinion that teenagers 50 years ago are the same with the Millennium era teenagers, sex is only one between so many differences between teenagers 50 years ago and nowadays. There are clothes, their views on issues, the culture.


Nurlely Kali wrote: "Mickey stated that many girls would be delighted to have their boyfriends in their bedrooms. She then made a distinction between waking up being watched by a total stranger, and waking up being watched by someone you loved."

Just because Bella loved Edward, it does not mean she should feel no weird feeling or even a bit scared when she first saw him. She did not know Edward that well that time.

And nice try with making conclusion of what I actually did with Mickey's comment. That is indeed interesting.

You need to go back to where the 50 years was initiated. I did not live 50 years ago. I doubt Mickey did too. So the facts that I collected were from google. Unless you are an expert in the teenagers field 50 years ago, then what you said was also based on what you read.

You must think Twilight is not a good book for having it rated 1...

Isn't that interesting?

To you people towards the beginning who clearly do not understand Mormonism:

I find it almost funny that you choose to judge a religion so heavily on a book about vampires that just so happens to be written by a member of that religion. The "morals" that Stephenie Meyer's series teaches are from her mind, so wouldn't it make more sense to hold her accountable for the mistakes or offensive content rather than the church that had no part in writing or publishing it?

To generally quote your assumptions: "Only white people go to Heaven." "A girl can't do anything without a boy's help." "If you believe that crap, you're an idiot."

Where, where on this wide Earth did you get the idea that only whites can get to Heaven? You don't know who has gone to Heaven and neither do I, but there are millions of perfectly good people that are of another race. Look at members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Look at the General Authorities, for goodness' sake. Do you see white supremacists? If you do, I would suggest getting a new pair of contact lenses or hearing aids so you can see their skin colors or hear a few of their names. Boye, Uchtdorf, Gonzalez, Aidukaitis, Alonso, Amado, Falabella--do any of these sound American or white to you? Why would the LDS church sustain these people to such high positions if their race was a barrier? "White", in the context of ascending to Heaven, refers to the symbolism of that color, meaning that they will be shining--when something shines, that color it emanates is usually white--with purity and glory. For crying out loud, not everything is literal.

Just because Bella is a dependent, manipulative, insufferable idiot in a book written by a Mormon woman does not mean that she is what a woman should be. All kinds of women belong to this religion, and if you care to glance at women of the LDS church, I doubt you will see a long line of Bella Swans. The Bella Swans of this world exist due to their own choices and decisions, not the religion they follow or claim to follow. It is not the LDS church's fault that Bella is a Mary-Sue, now, is it? The Church did not write the books. Take this issue up with Stephenie Meyer.

As for the last part? We don't believe half the crap that you are saying, besides. So, before you trash my religion and what I believe, have the courtesy to get your facts straight.
