Music is a form of expression; it allows society to show their true identities, feelings, and opinions about life. My favorite lyric is from the song "Addiction" by the band D.O.P.E; “she’s like cocaine, heroin, alcohol, and vicodin; she’s my addiction”. I wonder if this would be Edward’s favorite quote as well.
The theme of danger is quite evident, starting from the beginning of the book. When Bella and Edward first meet, Edward warns her, explaining that the two shouldn’t associate with each other in her best interest. Of course, Bella goes against Edward’s threats, eventually falling in love with him and becoming an unofficial member of the Cullen. Bella “is unconditionally in love with him”, complicating the situation even more because to Edward, she is “exactly his brand of heroin” (195, 268). Any second, he could lose control and attack, putting her life in danger. She is his addiction, making the temptation almost irresistible. In other words, Bella is flirting with death.
Due to Bella’s constant involvement in the Cullen family, I’m curious to see how everything will play out in the rest of the series. Will she still be alive by the end of it? I suppose time will tell.
