How is twilight abusive

Adrienne Tyler is a features writer for Screen Rant. She is an Audiovisual Communication graduate who wanted to be a filmmaker, but life had other plans and it turned out great. Adrienne is very into films and she enjoys a bit of everything: from superhero films to heartbreaking dramas, to low-budget horror films. Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings.

When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. Bella herself is also not free from guilt — effectively forcing Edward to agree to sleep with her before agreeing to marriage. Most worryingly, in the fourth book, Breaking Dawn , Edward and Jacob have a discussion that centres on physically forcing Bella into an abortion that she has refused.

The only reason this course of events does not take place is that Bella has the protection of other vampires who will not allow it and are capable of protecting her. These vampires spend the duration of her pregnancy as body guards, stopping Edward from physically forcing the abortion on her.

All in all, you might wonder why on Earth I would be happy for any tween or teen in my family to read Twilight at all? But instead, I would actively encourage it. According to the National Domestic Violence hotline, these are some signs that you may be in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship.

I love you. In fact, I'll run to Italy and try suicide by vampire if anything happens to you. These are some more signs of an abusive relationship. Has your partner Bella doesn't have time for anyone else! Does tossing her through a glass table count?
