All of the Cullen family in ‘Twilight’ are described as breathtakingly beautiful; in fact, this and their aloofness in the cafeteria of the school is the first thing that draws Bella’s attention towards them.
"Their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful." (TW1)
Although Bella is immediately drawn to Edward, we have frequent repetition of just how attractive all of the ma cà rồng are. Carlisle is described as looking "more like a model than a doctor" (TW24), Rosalie is so gorgeous that "the perfect blonde girl" (TW1) is "beyond belief", Emmett and Jasper are "intimidating and flawless", Alice is "striking" (TW Epilogue), and Edward is described as "dazzling" (TW2) and "too beautiful to be real" (TW13). Esme, whilst not as prominent in the novel as the others, still "had the same pale, beautiful features as the rest of them" (TW 13).
We discover that their perfect "marble" (TW13) features are merely part of their arsenal of weapons to make them enticing to their prey.
Ironically, many of the words Bella chooses to describe the ma cà rồng are an inversion of the stereotypical beliefs about the creatures. Edward is frequently described as an "angel" (TW23) hoặc mention is made of "his angel’s face" (TW13). His eyes are "golden" at times (TW13) and the constant reinforcement of the positive imagery and implications supports the fact that the Cullens are, indeed, an altogether different version of vampire to that covered bởi legend.
It is worth noting that in Meyer’s world the transformation from human to vampire intensifies everything, including looks.
"The change into a vampire makes an average person stunning and a beautiful person absolutely beyond breath-taking. The reason Rosalie is such a beautiful vampire is because she was the most beautiful girl in Rochester, New York when she was human." (PC4)
Therefore, as Meyer herself concludes, all of the Cullens were physically attractive to start with, and their transition to vampire state merely enhances what was already there in much the same way that Carlisle believed that a person’s greatest gift was taken with them (such as Esme’s capacity for love) and made stronger.
Their movements are described as fluent and fluid, very graceful. Alice’s movements in particular are equated with being like "dancing’, and are set in stark contrast to Bella’s own clumsiness.
The uncivilised ma cà rồng are described somewhat differently, their walk being "catlike" and "on the edge of shifting into a crouch" (TW18). The woman is described as having a posture that is "distinctly feline" (TW18) From their mô tả alone, they are seen as far thêm animalistic, wild and uncontrolled than the "urbane" (TW18) Cullens, although they are capable of cursory civility.
James is the only vampire in the book who isn’t described as attractive; in fact he is "nondescript" (TW18). Meyer explains this as James:
"was quite unattractive as a human. This is rare, because even ma cà rồng are drawn bởi beauty. They tend to, when looking for companionship, choose exceptional humans." (PC4)

I wrote a bài viết Last week on how Twilight found me, saying that the Cover did in fact haunt me.
but since i finally cave in and read. i realize that the Haunting is not over.
I'm Obsessed it's true, but this is turning scaryyyyy
I'm a Disney người hâm mộ okay, majorly and well..i was watching "101 Dalma.." bạn know, anyways, i was watching it to get my mind off of Twilight for once...
and something just jumped up in my face i thought i would share.
one of the Charaters is named Jasper.
the "Call" that the chó do at night to send a message, is called
TWILIGHT Bark.
yeah...am i going insane? i think so..only i put in "21" with Jim surgess okay..and at the end of the movie he did something completely crazy he đã đưa ý kiến a line from the Book.
"so, do i Dazzle you?"
I decided to turn off the TV and go to bed..sad thing is, the only thing i dream about is Edward.
should i be scared? O_______o

Okay so I'm not one of those những người hâm mộ who wants the film to be exactly like the book-no offence to anyone- because I know thats just not going to happen.
But I was watching the new Twilight trailer and saw this:
Don't bạn think it's a little weird that all three cars are there, I thought the Cullens didn't want to bring any attention to themselves.Now I know all phim chiếu rạp aren't like the sách they're based on, Harry Potter is a great example of that. But I thought the Cullens wanting to keep themselves inconspicuous was an obvious fact that ran through the book.
I know other people have noticed changes in the movie too- like Bella having her áo khoác at the restaurant, and that they've changed the name of the restaurant.
I just wanted to know what other people felt about this. Either way I'm still going to see the movie, I can't wait. But does anyone think these changes will affect the experience?

So Like now EVERYONE in my school is đọc twilight when I read it like before they even started to film the movie. So what what's my point? Well, my point is that before before Breaking Dawn came out, when some was đọc the sách it was like bạn would talk to them and bạn would talk like you've been Những người bạn forever when you've just meet the person. Now I see someone đọc twilight and I eathier get tried of seeing them hoặc get sick. Ok maybe not get sick but still bạn can't talk to the person like bạn used to talk to them, all enthusiastic and excited! And for me most of the time the real exciting stuff is in the movie and the people who read the sách nowa days don't know alot stuff about the movie. I believe that the people on the fansites are the REAL CRAZY fans, because if bạn ask anybody else what Spunk Randsom means, they wouldn't know. Anyway i just feel like it's so not exciting anymore....
