Twilight author recreates the plot and brings characters with changed roles

If you are a fan of the Twilight series, then you must be aware of all the controversy Stephanie Meyer, the author of the series, faced with how she portrayed the main characters in the saga, Bella and Edward.

This is because the plot is based on the story of an inexperienced teenager who falls madly in love with a vampire who, in turn, tries to resist the urge to get involved with the girl for fear of endangering her life. The controversy lies in the fact that many consider Bella's behavior to be extremely backward and antifeminist, claiming that she is a bad example for fans of the saga.

According to Nicole Sperling of Entertainment Weekly to mark the 10th anniversary of the saga, Stephanie Meyer has decided to write a new book that is sure to make her talk. Called "Life and Death - Twilight Reimagined", the writer brings the main characters with their roles reversed, that is, with a vampire who falls in love with an ordinary boy.

Exchange-Trading

In the book, Bella is a teenager named Beaufort, while Edward is a young woman named Edythe and, according to Nicole, Meyer explained in the preface that she decided to trade gender to emphasize that Bella is not a damsel in distress, just as she is. to demonstrate to his critics that the character is actually a "person" in danger.

As Meyer insisted, this is basically a normal human being surrounded by heroes and villains, so Bella is more fragile than the others and finds herself in a peculiar situation. In addition, to counter the criticism that Bella was portrayed as an overly passionate young woman in the Twilight series, Meyer said it's not just girls who behave this way, since Beaufort doesn't act very differently in the plot.

After all, according to Meyer, when it comes to romance between two characters, it doesn't matter who the boy or girl is. The book is part of a commemorative box that was launched today - October 6th - in the USA, and is expected to arrive in Brazilian bookstores on November 1st.
