artemis10002000: Don't drink water... fish have sex in it (Default)

While I do think that Edward's behaviour is abusive, Bella's passivity has always disturbed me more.

I disliked Edward's behaviour extremely, but I wasn't surprised by it. Sad to say, by the horror stories I hear about the marriages from Edward's generation in my family, he's a downright Prince Charming in comparison. For another thing, the sparkly ones are territorial and treat humans either as food or pets. He isn't using sheer terror to keep her in line like Jasper does with his contacts, so he probably considers himself an A+ boyfriend.

But that doesn't make his behaviour okay. I kept waiting for Bella to call him out on his behaviour and force him to accept that she's her own person, he will either have to change or that's it. It never happened, of course. So while I could have loved them as a fucked-up couple, Bella just putting up with it and rationalizing it away was more disturbing to me than a vampire turning out to be... well, not a nice person. Honestly, I spent the first book convinced that he was hypnotizing her since any free will she possessed disappeared as soon as she looked into his eyes. Seriously, pay attention to it. She says no to something or argues with him, then she looks into his eyes and... nada. Edward is perfect.
