Christi What do you think Bella is? Annoying. Stupid. Anything works. Do you love her? Discuss who she chooses when she could have obviously had either one. Tell all on this discussion. I will not hold back on my comments and I expect you not to either.

Bella Scale of Annoyingness:

1-Not too bad.

2-Slight distraction.

3-An itch you can't reach.

4-Stung by a nest of bees.

5-Cut by glass

6-Drowning in Salt Water

7-Dying on the inside.

8-Going to murder someone.

9-Too calm to be nice. Perfectly calm to kill yourself.

10-Bella Herself.

^I put all girl main charries to this chart. Now feel free to comment.

Tina J Hello again Christi!

I'm stuck between Stung by a nest of bees & Cut by glass. PMSL
(Good variations of annoyingness btw!)

Bella is an idiot, anyone with a right mind should know that. But I don't 'hate' her (as such)

Now if you were talking about Jacob - I would have said an 8 - and it would be me murdering HIM!
;D


Jennie Oh my lord, I'm about an 8 or a 9. So annoying. So very annoying.
If people like her actually existed, I would despair of all people, everywhere. (Please do not tell me that people like her actually exist. I do not wish to despair of all people, everywhere.)
She chooses an unhealthy, obsessive, controlling relationship, although I suppose a more or less one-sided relationship with Jacob wouldn't have been much better. Couldn't she have just gone and found a nice banker or something?
I'm going to stop, while I still can. I could ramble about how I hate her for a good, long time.

I agree wholeheartedly with you especially about Jacob. I wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

A banker...hmm that might have been better since she a is as boring as one is supposed to be. (Not dissing on bankers, my aunt is one.)

A lover! (Liker?) I don't really agree...she just gets on my nerves.


Anthony Gramuglia To me, Bella irritates me the same way a horse that dies on top of you and crushes you would. She is as pleasant to read about as curdled milk is to drink. If Ron Burgundy met her, he'd feel satisfied that at least one woman fit his theory about the intelligence of women. People like Bella cannot naturally exist in this world because even a person with more holes in their brain than Phineas Gage has more brain power than this emotional vampire.

...in case you couldn't tell, I do not particularly care for Bella.

I can agree with you to the end.


Mikaela I don't agree with anyone here. I don't find Bella annoying at all.

I totally agree! I mean, there were some things Bella did that got on my nerves, but for the most part I thought she was a decent character.

....a decent character would be say Alice. Not Bella. She obsessed over Edward and then practically draped herself over Jacob. I find that annoying. Also love triangles are the worst.

QR She's got her good points and her bad points.

The thing is that even a decently written character can be irritating. For example, in Harry Potter, Rita Skeeter is a well-written character who can also be annoying. Love triangles can be done well if under the right situation.

The problem is that Bella Swan has SUCH a good character hidden underneath also makes her much worse. Think of it this way: wouldn't Twilight be so much better if the story realized she was desperate for vampire sex, and reflected on how pathetic her life was? Either that, or show her for the manipulative selfish jerk-face she is. However, the story treats her like a saint, glossing over her negative qualities in order to focus on her good parts. That makes an already annoying character worse.

But that's just me.

Well, Bella is like that sometimes, but I don't feel like she is that way all the time. I think in Breaking Dawn she turns into a much braver person once she gives birth to Renesmee and realizes that she must step up and be the better person.


JessicaMaggie 8! She is so...HUMAN! I personally think she's depressed, though why would you be with two guys chasing after you? Plus, why DO they both like her so much?

Oh, and in Breaking Dawn, does it not REALLY annoy you when everything works out perfectly?
e.g. Renesmee will conveniently stop aging at around their age, and Jacob can stay immortal because he imprinted on her.

However, I do agree that she becomes braver in Breaking Dawn.

This is brilliant!


JazzyCat probs 3

A big old 7 if you ask me. This character perpetuates the horrid meaning of suffering and co-dependance, far from a modern hero
!


message 22: by Erica (new) - added it

Erica Probably a three she just whines a little too much.


message 23: by Emily (new) - rated it 1 star

Emily 7 and 10. Shes whiney and always plays victim.


Amanda Can I just add that I commend you for using the word spoilers in your title for this post? I have previously added a post where I have complained that a lot of times on here people don't consider writing that the post may contain spoilers and I believe it is just common courtesy to let people know. So thank you!

Sydney Yargeau I would have to say an itch you cant scratch i think she is a little of a clutz but she needs to get over complaining about edward and jacob.


message 26: by T (new) - rated it 3 stars

T Kennedy 2-3 because at the end of the day, I read all four books so she can't have been that bad. In reality if she was in my Uni I wouldn't like her because she's really ignorant to all her friends and let's face it, she's a total sap.


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Can I give her a 55?


message 28: by Cat (last edited May 06, 2012 09:29PM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cat 3-An itch you can't reach.
1-Not too bad


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Somewhere between 3 and 4.


Tasha 2-3. She's not very annoying, I just wish she was more exciting. But then again, that's how her character is portrayed, so she's fine with me.


Christi Nasra wrote: "Can I give her a 55?"

Of course you can! I take it you don't like her much. XD


message 32: by Cat (new) - rated it 5 stars

Cat I don't think she's that bad anymore, I actually like her now. Seeing her in BDP2 behind the scenes clips and seeing her in Snow white and the Huntsman.

Well that is Kristen Stewart not Bella Swan. Bella in the books just is depressed and makes u depressed. Then u have the whole, 'I'm hurting Jake, no now I'm hurting Edward!! Boo hoo!'

That is what I find annoying about her.

How dare you? Jacob is AWESOME!!!! I'd say about 7 on the scale of annoyingness for bella.if it was Edward about 74 and a half which means I'd have ripped him to pieces then when he reforms do it again and again and again.


message 37: by Kelly (last edited Jun 09, 2012 11:57PM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kelly Team Jacob so I think Bella is like about 8 to 10. Edward is better at playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. Bella is a traitor for going for Edward instead of Jacob.


message 38: by Courtney (new) - added it

Courtney I am going to say a three, however my opinion is due to change. Bella is sometimes one of those characters, where you can see that she is just trying to do something good, however her penchant for always getting into trouble or doing something bad is tiresome and frustrating. It is like the girl doesn't know when to stop and keep her head in line! In New Moon her relationship reaches an all time low, and an all time annoyance for everyone out their, who probably wanted to rip their hair out, all the times you could see that she was better off with Jacob....

Overall, best just leave the topic to rest, I found she was an all right character, nothing spectacular.


Mochaspresso Loved the books, but I did find Bella to be extremely annoying and rather selfish at times. She would walk through hot coals and give her life to be with Edward "forever"....but she can't enjoy riding a motorcycle with him or put on a pretty dress and enjoy a party that someone has organized in her honor. Or at least grin and bear it because it is obvious how much it meant to others.


message 40: by [deleted user] (new)

Bella Swan doesn't annoy me as much as, say, Hermione Granger (from Harry Potter), but she does get on my nerves at times. (I will never think of her as Bella Cullen. It's too old-fashioned and sick.)
