However, I am somewhat confused. If Edward has lived for 100 years and has yet to give himself to anyone, then why does he decide to have sex with Bella when they've only known each other for a short period of time? A few years is probably nothing to a vampire, so why has he decided to make such a decision?
Now, it's stated (quite obviously) that he married Bella because he was in l’amour with her (as many have said, I feel that it is lust and not love, but that's not the point I'm trying to make at the moment), which I feel is the proper reason to give yourself to someone. This confuses me; if Edward falls in l’amour with Bella so quickly, then why has he not fallen in l’amour with anyone before Bella?
To me, it's not a matter of not "doing it" with anyone before (that's a personal descision that he has made), but rather the fact that Bella is in his life for only two years and he decides that she is the one with whom he wants to be with.
I find this unrealistic, due to the fact that Edward has probably met many young women in his long life. For a vampire (or, as I refer to them as, Meyerpire) to give themselves to someone, that would mean being committed to them for eternity. If toi think about it, wouldn't toi want to consider if the person toi are going to marry is worth spending eternity with? It may take a while (certainly plus than two years) to make that descision. I just feel that it's unrealistic for a aléatoire girl to waltz in front of a Meyerpire and BOOM! they're "eternally in love".
I know the reason Meyer made Edward a virgin was to make the story plus romantic. After all, it is a nice thought: he's never donné himself to anyone before, which means that Bella is the first one he's been with. But, as she has done before, Meyer is too caught up écriture an "epic romantic fantasy" that she fails to use realism and logic in her plots.
This article was just an opinion of mine; I saw it as a subject that no one (to my knowledge) has touched yet, so tell me what toi think!
