Edward Cullen: A Supporting Role of the Twilight Series

posted by mandapanda

Rob in Cannes

Today, a new interview with Rob from Cannes, France was released. It's only a couple minutes long with Rob talking about New Moon, but, something Rob said really stuck with me.

Before I talk about the interview, I would like to make something clear. And I will keep it brief. Alot of people think that New Moon is Jacob's book. But it's not. It's still Bella's book. She tells the story. We experience everything through her words. Jacob happens to be in the story more, and we get to know more about the werewolves, but other than that, Bella is the main character. Edward is still present, not physically, but mentally. Everything reminds Bella of him. Therefore, everything in New Moon revolves around him and Bella trying to survive without him. Now, end of my little rant and moving on to what Rob said in his interview.

During Rob's short interview, around 1:18, he talks about the filming and how he was more relaxed. He also said, "Mainly, I think I'm a supporting role in it [New Moon]. I felt pretty relaxed all the time. I really didn't have to hold it. Not that I had to last time. Kristen essentially holds the movie."

Kristen essentially holds the movie. He gets that Bella is the main character. Some of us forget that it's her story. We're caught up in her world and what's going on, but we forget that we're experiencing it through her. And I'm glad that Rob gets the fact that Edward is supporting character, not only in New Moon, but the other books as well. Even though Edward is an awesome and unique character, it's true. He's a supporting character, just like Alice and Jacob.

JA23 i agree. Edward is a supporting character, but one of the main supporting characters.

sweet_twilight I agree. I love how the actors and actress know the book so well. It's sweet! Great article! Thanks!

twilightGGlost i HAVE to admit YES Bella is the "protagonist" hehe big word meaning main character or hero(ine) of the story and i tend to forget Edward is not lmao....EVEN THO I LUV HIM VERY MUCH LMAO!!

BumBaCicA I really don't know why people think that New Moon is Jacob's book.. All books are about her. Ofc that we know a lot more in New Moon about Jacob cause he has been there for her, he has been a part of her.. And I agree with twilightGGlost, I also tend to forget that Edward is not main character, but I slip a lot xD.. Can't wait for Midnight Sun to come out!! And I'm glad to hear that actors and actress DO read book and relate to it.. That's what makes the movie great..

amandaj I agree with you, Rob gets it. Great article!

Edward friends with Bella

"Hey Bella, well , i hope you know i wouldn't ask you, unless your were the last resort cause i hate to be a pain, but do you mind driving me home? i just got a text from alice, she went home like an hour ago, her headache got worst."
Edward asked on our way out the front doors.
Everyone was rushing like a torado out the front door all at once, everyone was excited for the weekend. Which made me wonder, its not like they have something super exciting happening, nothing is really exciting here.
Edward's question startled me, but i diddnt have the strength to say no.
"Yeah sure, what about your...

Chapter 12. (Jacob)

Edward finally left and Bella let me inside. "Why would you do this to Charlie? To him? To me?" I asked yet again. She didn't answer me. "Come on, Bells, there has to be a reason." I begged. I wanted an answer badly. "Well, I don't want to live in a house full of Charlie's rules when i'm old enough to get my own house and make my own rules." She stated. "You're not telling the truth. You're lieing." I told her. She sat on her bed and yawned. "Jake,...

Renn and Micahs Life Chapter 5. (A Continuation of Renn and Jakes Life)

I know that Will will come here. He is going to want all the truth, but I can't give it to him.

Jacob and Micah fell asleep in the hammock last night, but they still haven't come in.

At this instant I hear the doorbell ring. I hesitate and finally walk to the door.

Will's shadow is on the other side.

I open the door and see his solemn face.

"Will," I pause. "what are you doing here." I look at his face and notice the lines creasing his forehead.

"What was that call all about?" He stares into my eyes with anger.

"I told you. I can't." I start to close the door, but he pushes it back open...

You went through the rest of the school week like a ghost. You couldn't get that dream out of your mind. Mike, Angela, Jessica, Erik, Ben, Lauren, and Tyler kept on making sure that you couldn't go and you told them. That it was a family deal. You was in your last class on Friday and the bell rang. You got out of the class and went to your locker seeing that your sibbling were waiting for you by your locker. You almost made it when Mike stopped and started talking to you.
Mike: Are you okay?
You: What do you mean?
Mike: I mean you have been quiet for the rest of the week.
You: Yeah I am fine. Just...

    "You guys are...a thing now?" He asked as our eyes opened.
    "What?" He said, and I sat up.
    "We'll talk later," I said, jumped out of bed and threw Jerek his clothes. He went to his closet to retrieve his coat.
    "Let's go." Tabra sighed and left us to it.

    I didn't bite him, oh no, not my Jerek. I kissed his neck, and then his lips.
    "Get off of me!" He said, and spat more blood my way. This time, I licked it off of his lips. "Seriously! You're sick!"
    "I'm thirsty, get over it." I said, and sat close enough to him to where if he tried to make a run for it, I could sustain him....

    I don't have a good feeling about this. But, we have to be fine...right?

    "Alright." Tabra followed Jerek down some steps and I followed him.
    "Shropee!" Jerek called in front of him, and a girl a few inches shorter than me came up to Tabra and took him to the medical couch she talked to him about.

    It was time. I could visit Tabra now. I went into room 10, and saw he was awake, but looked like he was hurting a bit.
    "Hey," I said, sitting in a chair by his bed.
    "Hello, Cyd."
    "Yea, about that..." I said and he looked confused, it was a good think they didn't put him on meds to make him all loopy right now. That would be bad.
    "What is it?" He asked.

Emmett's POV:
I ran around down stairs getting ready, everyone yelling different thing at each other. I didn't understand a word they were saying. Butterfly were building in my stomach but I am not nervous, I am excited.
"Ready?" Carlisle asked from the doorway of the room I was in.
"Yes." I answered simply with a big smile spread across my face.
He smiled back and said,"Follow Edward outside, I am going to check on the progress upstairs." He turned to leave the room and Edward took his place.
I followed him outside into the very rare...

Blackout!!! Part 3

She turned and walked out gracefully. Once she was out the room, I counted to a hundred. With a hand trembling I touched the latest stinging bite and grimaced in pain. Blood was on my finger-tips.
I felt like crying! But will I really start blubbering like a lost child? Give Cornelia satisfaction of knowing how I took this? No! No! No, I won't!
But, WHY ME?! Tough I would be guilty I would see someone in my place, like this. Hm. Yet again, I sighed.
I can't take this frustration much longer! I felt like screaming! I, reluctantly, brought my eyes to the look of the "food". Sigh. I picked it...

Thanks for waiting and please comment and tell me what you think of my story.

Chapter 3
“This, this man” I said posing “this man is my long, long lost brother Jasper Swan” I said holding his hand. She came towards us and said so this is your lovely and beautiful Jasper” she said with a lovely smile that would make your heart pound with beauty.
“And this young man is? She said with her lovely smile again. I froze for a second hopping that but she didn’t, she looked at me with a questionable face.
“Well this is Edward my, my, my” I started stuttering. “Well?” she asked questionably....

Sorry I may have left you on a bit of a cliff hanger last time. So here's part 3.
EnjoyXXXX

I woke up lying on my stomach. Jasper was sat with Rosalie in front of me holding me hand, which I found incredibly odd. I couldn’t see anybody else in the room. There could have been somebody behind me but because I had my head to one side I couldn’t see if there was. I couldn’t feel my back, legs or arms and I felt dizzy. “Where am I?” My voice sounded croaky, like someone had just shoved ad knife down my throat. “You’re in hospital Bella everything’s going to be ok” Ok that was strange...

I was resting on his arms, contented. As he closed his eyes, I stared at him. He was so beautiful. As long as My Greek-godlike husband was with me, I’m complete... I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back as he kissed my hair. I faced him but didn’t open my eyes. He crushed his lips on mine.
I giggled and leaned back on his chest.
He spoke.
“I’m glad that you believed Alice. “
“She’s my sister, Edward....

"Oh for goodness sakes, Emmett, just stand up already!" Edward hissed from underneath him. "Not until you come to your senses!" Emmett said. Rosalie ran across the room at an almighty speed just as Edward reached out to grab Emmett, and she thumped him on his chest. "ENOUGH!" Esme spoke for the first time in the whole 7 and a half hours we'd been here. Everyone turned to look-even Emmett. "This is madness! Emmett, you and Emmett are the closest of brothers- so why throw away all of that time on one stupid decision? Edward, I want you to stay as much as Emmett, maybe even more-...
