This is exactly the problem with Twilight. It teaches young women that it's ok, even desirable and tragically romantic, to take abuse in a relationship. It hurts me that young women, and increasingly young girls like my cousins are reading this. I'm hopeful that they will be able to parse out the differences between normal behaviour and book behaviour, but the problem is that Bella never truly wises up (so far anyway).

Blargh. Also, badly written.
