What is so Different about Them? They are Both Love Story!

“I love Twilight! Oh and yeah, I hate Vampire Diaries lovers! So GO TWILIGHT! I love you Edward and Jacob!”

“Vampire Diaries is so much better than Twilight. The girls and guys are so much not all pale ugly people.”

These two quotes were from the comments in a blog about Twilight and Vampire Diaries. Both are from different fans of the movies and they disagree with each other. Ever since Twilight and Vampire Diaries came out, they have been compared numerous times, because they have several similarities, but they both have discrete endings. Due to peoples different likes and dislikes, there has been a long argument between the two, regarding to which is the best one. Stephan, Damon Salvatore, and Edward Cullen were vampires who fell in love with a human woman. Their vampire existence and their love for the human shared many similar traits, though their movies were much different.

Most fans are commonly mistaken with a love story and a love triangle. A love story is between a couple, and a love triangle is more of like a love story with an extra person involved. Twilight and the Vampire Diaries both share a similar love triangle. In Twilight, as most of you know, Bella fell in love with Edward Cullen, who is a vampire, and her best friend Jacob Black, who is a werewolf. These two gentlemen are desperately in love with her, but she loves Edward more. In the Vampire Diaries, which is identical to Twilight, Elena is quite confused with her feelings toward the Salvatore brothers, Stefan and Damon. At first she was madly in love with Stefan, but her feelings for Damon were revealed after she awakened from the dead. As soon as the death of her brother, Elena discovered she was sired to Damon and their love was unrealistic. The last season of the Vampire Diaries just ended and Elena chose Damon over Stefan.

    The super silly, slow, and repetitive books series Twilight is addictive and Sady Doyle can't stop reading it. However, the book series has its right place that's needed in the teen age girls market. It takes them away from the horror of puberty. Both, the books and the movies series were a huge hit, even the soundtrack was in the top selling albums. Yet, its girlish key success factor also was the reason of the big backlash against it. The Twilight fan base was really ridiculed and mocked by every important magazine and newspaper. The Twilight fans were not welcomed in the geeks’ world, the quality of the books and the movies sets it apart from other super heroes’ horror stories.…

    In Chapter 3 the author explains in Chapter three how vampirism isn't always about vampires. Vampirism is a characteristic a character can portray, such as selfishness, exploitation, and rudeness. The character takes advantage of people, like a vampire would to his prey. Many authors actually use vampires, ghosts, or doppelgangers to portray vampiristic qualities instead of letting the reader infer those qualities into a human.…

    Since the eighteen century, vampire stories have played a strong role of popularity in literature and cinematic environments. The continuous changes of vampires have taken the vampire legend from something feared to something desired. Between Dracula and Twilight it has been over a hundred years. These two novels are a great example of vampire’s evolution. However, both novels have elements of narrative device, they are both written from multiple perspectives, and both were turned into a film. Although Twilight and Dracula are pieces of literature that share a vampire story, there are three important differences that characterize each one.…

    Edward Cullen, Jacob Black, and Bella Swan might not be the most artful characters of created, but that’s not stopping young teenage girls, and some older, from reading and obsessing over the series. The Twilight series has had a very successful run, in both the movie industry and in the book industry. In 2009, Twilight novels constructed 16 percent of all book sales. This means that four out of every twenty-five books sold were part of the series. In addition to that, the first Twilight movie created made roughly $70.6 million on its opening weekend. While its soundtrack went on to sell around 2.2 million copies worldwide. As Sady Doyle phrased it in Girls Just Wanna Have Fangs “Yet, if the numbers are any indication, you don’t need male fans to dominate the marketplace.” (Ch. 10, Pg. 267)…

    Deemed the new modern day Romeo and Juliet, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight reintroduces the idea of “forbidden love”. However, Meyer’s Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are not simply rewritten versions of Romeo and Juliet. Instead, when comparing these two stories together, the reader can recognize more than the “forbidden love” that occurs between two opposing sides in both books, but they can also use the comparison to understand each character as individuals more thoroughly.…

    There are many, they are messy, and they are complicated. Just like friendships, no one actually trusts the person they are in a relationship with – at least not fully. Take the love triangle between Annalise, Sam, and Nate, everyone is involved with more than one person. Annalise is sleeping with both men, but it is unclear if she really loves either of them. Nate has a sick wife at home (who works mainly to demonstrate the lack of faithfulness in this triangle, we do not actually meet her in the first season). And then there is the relationship between Sam and Lila, both of whom are dead in the first…

    Edward Cullen, born Edward Anthony Masen, is a major character, implicated in all of the Twilight Saga films and books. As stated in the first and second novels, he was born on June 20, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, and was frozen in his 17-year-old body while dying of the Spanish influenza, when he was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen in 1918. As shown in Twilight, he only did so because Edward's dying mother, Elizabeth, begged him to save Edward. A member of the Olympic Coven, Edward only drinks animal blood and has the special ability to read minds. When he met Bella, he was immediately attracted to her because her thoughts are unreadable to him, and also to her strongly appealing blood scent. Edward tries to avoid Bella for her own safety, but fails. He notices Bella's attraction…
