What is Twilight's theme?

Ok I have the perfect response to this but there's not much room here so I'll sum it up: Twilight has no plot. It is pages and pages of whiny rambling and gushing over Edward. Edward and Bella are not in love. They lust over each other. So their "love" is not the theme.

Has no plot? the definition of a plot is the story. what I got from twilight is Bella moves to a small town. She sees and becomes infactuated with Edward, who happens to be a vampire. His family chooses to live a life without killing people despite what they are. 3 nomadic vampires are introduced and finds Edward and Bella's relationship a mystery. James is challenged by that fact and decides to take Bella away from Edward. He starts his killing game. He tricks her. She meets him. Edward saves her. How is that not a plot? I do agree with rambling and gushing. Bella does that alot. But besides that, the story can get deep. It has a lot of layers. Everyone thinks it's a simple story, but under the surface, it can get complex. Take Bella for instance. She's supposed to be this pathetic, weakling. But it takes a strong person to know what she wants in life, and what she'll do for her friends and her family. Stuff like that. People don't always see it that way. I respect your opinion, and I saw that you're a fan of the C.A.T spot, as am I. But I think Twilight does have a plot. And in response to what you said about "their 'love' is not the theme", are you saying they don't love each other? I don't exactly get what you mean by that, but i believe they do love each other. Twilight was the first glimpse of love. It was young and new. But throughout the books, their relatinoship grows and becomes more reasonable and real.

Wikipedia defines plot as "all the events in a story particularly rendered towards the achievement of some particular artistic or emotional effect. In other words, it’s what mostly happened in the story or novel or what the story’s general theme is based on, such as the mood, characters, setting, and conflicts occurring in a story" Events happen, sure, but as they're not accompanied by character development or thematic development, I don't believe there is an actual plot. Maybe you see some development in the story I don't. And what I meant by "love" is that Edward and Bella's entire relationship was based on lust. They were drawn to each other because they found each other "interesting"

there's different kinds of love in the world. And it's not all about physcial appeal. Finding someone interesting isn't always about lust. The first book doesn't have too much besides infactuation with each other. But each book has a climax. But the whole 4 books, there is definitely character development. Bella changes throughoout the series. And sure, they aren't the best written. I know that. But SM is a good story teller nonetheless. You can either choose to read between the lines or just read it and you're done. It depends on the reader.

Awesome answer!
