Criticisms of Leisha Jones' Reader Response of Twilight

Good Afternoon Everyone,
                        I wanted to start of by going off of something Julia said while giving her presentation in class today about how she does not agree with the traditional female experiences i.e learning submissiveness, fearing sexuality and womanhood, marriage and motherhood. As a reader of Twilight I feel that Jones is completely wrong when stating that Bella is submissive. She demands from Edward to tell her everything, she makes him come back with her at the end of New Moon, in Eclipse she even wraps the Volturi around her finger by stating that she will, in time, become a vampire, and finally in Breaking Dawn she becomes a vampire which is exactly what she wanted. Bella is not the submissive one in this relationship, it is Edward who bows to her every desire and command. Another thing that bothered me was her statement that "She finally becomes both woman and mother simultaneously"(444). Does this mean that a girl cannot become a woman unless she is a mother? What about all the women who choose not to have children or the women who cannot have children? She even at one point calls Bella obsessive of Edward, but in turn is it not actually Edward who is obsessed with Bella? He watches her in her sleep! I enjoyed reading this article because I believe Jones' reader response of Twilight to actually be completely wrong. She missed the love and instead deemed it obsession with Edward and the idea of preserving beauty, but I believe she wants to live forever, not because she wants to stay young and beautiful, but because she can then love forever. Although I could be reading too much into this I wanted to know what you guys thought specifically about Jones' interpretation of Twilight rather then the fan fiction's she mentions. Thank you! -Kayleigh
