I am currently reading the third book of the Twilight series, called Eclipse, by Stephanie Meyer. I really like this book because it is not only very intriguing, it makes me feel like the entire situation is real and it makes me form a very strong opinion towards what I want to happen!
This book is about Isabella Swan, often just called Bella, who moves to the rainy and quiet town of Forks, Washington. When she starts high school, she falls in love with a vampire named Edward. Although the two are deeply in love, many problems occur during their relationship. Bella has already created several enemies in the vampire world, and they are constantly out to kill her. Edward is a vampire, and in this story, vampires do not age, meaning Bella is always worried about getting too old for Edward. Bella is friends with a werewolf named Jacob. The problem is, is that werewolves and vampires are enemies and hate each other, and she loves Edward and Jacob so much, and usually finds herself in between arguments between her boyfriend, and her best friend.
There have been several character changes throughout this book. However, the most significant ones were the character changes of Bella.
In Eclipse, and throughout the other Twilight books, Bella has gone through several character changes. For example, in the beginning of the book, Bella was constantly begging Edward to change her into a vampire. Friends and family members would tell her to wait a while, because she is young and may not know exactly what she wants at the moment. Bella starts off being very stubborn and refuses to listen to Edward when he tells her to wait longer before she becomes a vampire. Bella has changed, because she is starting to feel differently about becoming a vampire so soon. She is beginning to think of the consequences (like how to tell her family and how she won't be able to see her "normal" friends and her mom, and how Jacob will become her enemy). Bella is beginning to actually think about what becoming a vampire really means, and how it will affect her.
Another way Bella has changed, is that she is accepting things that she was pushing away and pretended they didn't exist. For example, Bella's close friendship with Jacob was becoming more than just a friendship. Deep inside, Bella knew that she began to love Jacob other than just a friend. However, she decided to make herself believe she didn't love him, and the only person she loves is Edward. Bella has changed, because she is finally accepting the fact that she loves Jacob. She is admitting to Edward too, that she wants to wait before becoming a vampire, because she wants to see how she feels about Jacob.
In conclusion, Bella is beginning to change. For the better! She is less stubborn and is rethinking the consequences and affects of becoming a vampire, and isn't pushing away the fact that she is in love with Jacob.
