    First let’s examine the character analysis of the books of Twilight relating to the postmodernist concept of “pastiche.” The characters Twilight author Stephenie Meyer created are a normal human girl that happens to fall in love with a vampire who thirsts for her blood and befriends another boy who will later transform into a werewolf. “Pastiche” is part of the complex concept of postmodernism. Jameson describes postmodernism as “specific reactions against…high modernism” and “the erosion of the older distinction between high culture and so-called mass or popular culture,” and specifies postmodernism’s use in “that newly emergent social order of late capitalism” (Jameson 1-3). The Twilight story does not exactly fit all aspects of this certain definition and usage of postmodernism, but it applies postmodernist consumer theories in a way. Using a “pastiche,” “the imitation of a peculiar or…

    Deemed the new modern day Romeo and Juliet, Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight reintroduces the idea of “forbidden love”.

    If Twilight is a vampire story with the sex removed, it is also a vampire story with the violence removed. Though violence does occur, in the books it is told at a remove: Bella is always being told about what happened, not actually seeing it and experiencing it for herself, because, of course, girls are far too delicate for anything bloody and dangerous and painful. This is particularly noticeable in the books, because the two movies so far have done the best they could at showing the violence which is only alluded to in the books. Of course, this is made possible because the movies aren’t so tightly focused on Bella’s point of view and can show us things she…
