    This is all very true, but the metaphor goes much deeper. The whole "forbidden love" between Bella and Edward (because the vamoire society looks down on human and vampire pairs) supposedly represents how homosexuals are forbidden to show their love in society because it is looked down on. And when Bella and Jacob try and become a couple and weren't able to display their love, Jacob said they would be accepted if "the world were perfect" which is once again similiar to the fact that homosexuals wouldn't have to hide if the world was more accepting.

    Most people didn't, including me. In fact I never even saw all the movies. My girlfriend drug me to the first two but I never saw the last one.

    The only thing that annoyed me was that Jacob took off his shirt every five seconds, and all the girls would freak the f**k out.

    Am I the only one who thought that Twilight (as in the first book) was actually a halfway decent YA novel? ._.

    I don't think there's much of a deep metaphor in there. It concerns forbidden love in general, and homosexuality is certainly a part of that, but I don't think it's limited to just that.

    You sound like you'd make a good English teacher, just promise me that you won't look rediculously deep into literature if you become one lol.

    But sometimes that's the only thing that keeps it from being boring.
