Twilight-- another semiotic domain

Twilight is a huge deal. There are a ton of girls of all ages that love everything about it. It's adventurous and romantic, however, I wouldn't know for sure because I've never read the books or seen the movie.

I wanted to take a look at semiotic domain that's outside of my own. Because Twilight is such a popular series, and I know at one time or another I'm going to get sucked into reading it, I thought it would be interesting to look into the dynamics of the novel. All I knew before hand was that there was a human girl in love with a vampire, and that was pretty much it.

I've talked to a girl my sister's age on up to a 50-something year-old lady I work with and they all absolutely love the series. It's the romance between Bella and Edward that brings them in, but then it is the drama between the good guys and the bad guys that keeps their interest. From everyone I've talked to, the books in the series are way better than the movie, although, that's how it always is, it seems. Stephanie Meyer, the author of the book, paints such a beautiful relationship between the human girl and the vampire that the biggest complaint for the film was that the main characters did not have enough chemistry. Meyer's writing fulfilled desires and fantasies of the readers, and that gave the series its appeal. It's a story that combines suspense, desire, love and friendship, which causes young adults and adults to be sucked into Edward's and Bella's world and beg for more.
