But he also didn't want to turn Bella into a vampire because he wanted Bella to have a human life and was envious of Bella's humanity and didn't want to rob Bella of the things her humanity could definitely give her, but wasn't certain that vampirism would.
Edward is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire, believing that becoming a vampire will destroy her soul. Bella agrees to marry Edward on the condition that he will make love to her while she is still human and then turn her into a vampire.
Eclipse continues the drama of Bella and Edward's relationship. Edward explains that he is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire because he believes that vampires are soulless creatures who have no place in heaven.
Edward is actually a vampire, and spends most of his time glaring at Bella and avoiding her. This is not because he dislikes her, but because he is so attracted to her that he is afraid he will be unable to control his instincts and will harm her.
Several members of the Cullen family must hold Jasper back. To protect Bella from the dangers of vampire life, Edward and his family leave the town of Forks. Edward vows never to see Bella again. A heartbroken Bella falls into depression that lasts for months.
Edward also displays many stereotypical characteristics of abusers. First, one of his hallmark characteristics is his control over Bella and his attempts to isolate her from others. Abusers often use this tactic as a way of ensuring that their victims have no way to escape should they attempt to do so.
Edward: Why He's an Abuser
First, one of his hallmark characteristics is his control over Bella and his attempts to isolate her from others. Abusers often use this tactic as a way of ensuring that their victims have no way to escape should they attempt to do so.
Because what makes Bella extraordinary to Edward is that her blood smells so good to him. He knows that if he were to drink her blood and kill her, she'd be the best thing he ever tasted.
He literally stalks her all the time. Sure, he can probably smell her scent a mile away, which can be difficult to ignore, but come on, Edward. He has zero boundaries and is impossibly clingy. While his attentiveness to Bella's needs may seem sweet, their codependency is unhealthy at best.
The venom, Stephenie writes, is what helps Edward impregnate Bella in the fictional book. According to Stephenie, the normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood.
Bella screams in her dream not because she is afraid of Edward, but because she is afraid for him. Bella does extensive research online about vampires and discovers that not all vampires are considered evil.
As a human, Bella possessed a natural immunity to the mental powers of vampires. After her transformation into a vampire, she develops it into the ability to project a mental shield that protects others from the psychic powers of other vampires. Her Life and Death counterpart is Beau Swan.
Yep, he was abusive. If you need some proof: he gaslit Bella, lied to her, put her in harms way, ghosted her and stalked her. It really is a marvel that he managed to jam all of those red flags into five movies but he did.
His adoptive father, Carlisle Cullen, transformed him into a vampire in 1918 to prevent him from dying in the Spanish influenza epidemic in Chicago, Illinois by the request of Edward's mother, who begged him to do whatever it took to save him.
#7: He's Clingy
On top of the troubling behaviors that we have already mentioned, Edward forces Bella into a relationship that quickly becomes unhealthily codependent. He is incredibly clingy with her and seems to be fixated on her all the time, unable to live his life without her.
Either way, we know you've been wondering—how the hell does Edward Cullen get it up? Vampires have blood, which is what's used to fill those erections generally required for sex, in their system only after they've hunted and sucked their victims dry.
Edward is dead - his cells have been burned and crystallized by venom, as described by Stephenie Meyer herself. Therefore his sex cells (sperm) are also dead. Dead cells aren't functional. His sperm couldn't pass on DNA and fertilize an egg.
Bella is a shield which means she is unaffected by any mental powers like mind reading or Jane's pain powers. Jane doesn't actually hurt the body she only produces an illusion of pain so Bella is immune. Bella's body is susceptible to physical powers like Jasper's and Alice.
Edward appears so awkward during his first real encounter with Bella because he's barely breathing and because the movie left out a subtle interaction between the two.
More than just Bella, Jacob had another reason to hate Edward — he turned into a werewolf because of his proximity to vampires. Jacob could have stayed a normal teen who scoffed at Quileute legends his whole life had he not come in touch with the Cullens.
One of Edward's worst traits that many fans and critics of the series have pointed out is that Edward can be way too controlling. While there are times when he tries hard to make sure Bella gets to make her own choices, he was often controlling when it came to her spending time with Jacob and the other shapeshifters.
No. So powerfully was Bella's subconscious knowledge trying to break through her wrong-headed notions, that it produced some very convincing delusions. I'm not surprised that people thought, in the beginning, that Edward was somehow there (wishful thinking on all our parts).
Unhealthy: Bella Swan And Edward Cullen
Edward displays many controlling behaviors. He also repeatedly watches her sleep at night without her knowledge. In addition, Bella is easily obsessed with him. It's an unhealthy relationship.
For both her and Robert Pattinson. Back in 2011, Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were tasked with creating what Stewart calls the "most epic sex scene of all time:" when Bella Swan loses her virginity to Edward Cullen in Breaking Dawn: Part 1.
10. Edward can't have sex with Bella because he might accidentally kill her. Take that in for a second. Also, when they do finally have sex, she's left bruised and hurt and the bed is LITERALLY BROKEN IN HALF.
