The Fans of Bella in Twilight

With a lexicon drenched in emotional words and communication, the twilight fans pay attention to problems of the heart that are surprising, terrible, horrible, guilty, insane and furious. Characters have strengths in resolving problems by understanding, answering, talking and explaining. There is a pre-occupation with beauty that values the uniqueness of people. The innocent and precious children in the stories appear to be plot devices, as they are newborn.
