TA TALKS BACK: MEANT TO BE OR NOT?
TA member ithomas talks about whether Bella and Edward were meant to be.
Since finishing the saga, time and time again, I find myself thinking that everything that was supposed to happen did happen. I’m a firm believer that Bella and Edward were meant to be together, as many of you probably do. Had Carlisle never been changed, Edward never would have had the opportunity to be with Bella as she was roughly 90 years younger. Which brings me to the notion that since Edward is a vampire, he and Bella are truly each others counter parts, Bella was destined to become a vampire as well. Throughout the whole saga there are subtle and sometimes very bold statements and facts that back this theory up.In Twilight Bella is used to being totally isolated, doesn’t really ever claim a “home”, and she’s somewhat estranged from both her parents are just a few. She loves her parents but as we’ve already established, they’re not really “parents” they’re like friends or roommates. She’s not afraid of Edward and his family, we know that most people stay away from them because they are “strange” and Edward said unconsciously they know that they should stay away. Bella not only doesn’t stay away, she’s not afraid. When Edward leaves her in NM she is broken, and not just a first love kinda of broken, it really was like a piece of her was gone.
The real concrete proof though is in Breaking Dawn. Once Bella has changed and done her three days in the fire so to speak she is so controlled. No one was expecting Bella to behave this way. From being the clumsy human to being able to jump out of Edward’s window for the first hunt. Of course we knew that those things would change for her, but even Edward said she was very graceful for a newborn. She was able to control herself those first moments because she stopped and thought about what she was doing. I mean for crying out loud she hung out with Charlie almost immediately afterward and she was fine. Bella was a shield before she was turned and after she turned out to be a pretty powerful one at that.
During the big confrontation Aro somewhat puts that thought in the forefront of your mind, “It is as if you were designed for this life.” I agree that she truly was designed to that life, every ounce of it. And in my opinion the whole Cullen family was destined to be together as well, you can’t have one without the other. What do you think? Was everything meant to be or was it just coincidence?
Talk Back to us….what do you think?
