Twilight’s love triangle is fine, but the dynamic between the Cullen family is where the narrative really shines.
Twilight is having a renaissance. From Hot Topic selling merch to Tessa Violet recreating the iconic baseball scene in her music video for “Games,” it’s like we’ve been transported back to 2008. Whether you unabashedly love it, vehemently hate it, hate to love it, or love to hate it, the cultural impact of the franchise – in particular, the movies – can’t be denied.
But it doesn’t end there. After all, between Carlisle getting a doctor’s salary for centuries and the fact that Alice could win the lottery every day of the week if she wanted, it’s not like they’re struggling for money. A couple of nice parties isn’t exactly a huge financial sacrifice. Plus, they successfully pretend not to be vampires all the time, so from these examples alone, it could be argued the bond is merely a calculated ruse of convenience to keep up appearances in public.
We get several more of these moments throughout the series. There is, of course, the aforementioned baseball game, filled with sibling rivalry, cheating accusations, and Esme trying to keep it all under control by serving as the umpire. The family obviously has a thing about bonding with athletics, as the training scene in Eclipse as they’re getting ready to fight the army of newborn vampires is equally crackling with fun, friendly competition.
It’s fascinating to see how their backgrounds affect each of their opinions on these two pivotal matters. Esme, Alice, and Emmett vote for Bella to be turned, with Alice considering her a sister and Esme telling her she’s already “part of the family.” Carlisle’s deep love for Edward shines through, too – he votes for Bella to be turned because he knows Edward will not live without her, and Carlisle refuses to lose his son.
