Roberts (1995:1) emphasizes that literature refers to compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, analyze and advocate ideas. This definition gives clue that literature offers ideas which are inherent in literature. They can be studied of course in order to find the truth of what is going on in literature.

There has been a long debate of what the function literature is. The pessimistic opinion would have looked at it as imaginative realm that cannot be studied at all. Literature can only be enjoyed for it tends to offer subjective element rather than objective one. Yet, the rest are more optimistic to value literature as a kind of knowledge that can be studied objectively. It has its medium language which is materially systematic. Therefore, literature is broadly applicable knowledge which is both subjective and realistic.

(14)

love is addressed to man, in literature man is equal to character or person that takes part in the story of the novel. That is why the focus of analysis in this thesi is the main character’s love values shared by Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan.

I could find out in the novel Stephenie Meyer such love problem which the values are debatable. Bella Swan is a girl who falls in love with Edward Cullen, a vampire. Bella is a really special girl, and Edward is unable to use his vampire powers to read her mind, tottaly hot for her blood and madly in love with her. So, Edward wants to form relationship with bella while resisting the urge to suck her dry. This is the background as well as the reason why I chose my paper title: The Value of Edward and Bella Love Pictured in Stephenie Meyer’s Novel “TWILIGHT”

2. GENERAL CONCEPT OF LOVE

2.1 General Concepts of Love

In this chapter the writer of this paper explores the personal relationships and emotions of adults. Sheexamine the core dimension of adult relationship: love, intimacy, and friendship.

A distinction can be made between liking and loving. Liking refers to a broad range of positive feelings toward another persons. Loving, on the other hand, refers to a deep range of feelings. Love is sometimes or often accompanied by feelings of possessiveness.

Meaning of love has changed over time. Bloom (1993) suggests that the distinction between love and sex become blurred in modern societies. Bloom observes that in earlier times the word love was reserved for describing the overwhelming attraction of one individual for another. It seems today that love seems to refer a much broader range of ways of relating to another person. And sex is a word that tells us that individuals are acting upon certain bodily needs. Bloom (1993) comments that isolation, a sense of lack of contact with others, and loss of human connections seem to be prevalent consequences of modern society.

(17)

sense of genuine regard and sincere concern for the one who is loved, and also a degree of intimacy unmatched in other relationships.

Intimacy becomes an increasingly important factor as love relationships develop and mature. Erickson (1968) observed that intimacy is a primary concern in early adulthood. Erickson (1968) suggested that intimacy is only possible after individuals are well on their way toward forming a stable personal identity.

Friendship have small differences with love, in friendships we do not needs physical contact like sex but in love we needs physical contact from someone we love. Beside that friendship have same enjoyment. Friendship involves enjoyment are; acceptance; trust; respect; mutual assistance; confiding; understanding; and spontaneity, however, relationships with spouses and lovers, unlike friendships, are marked by strong emotion and strong caring. Sometimes relationships with friends are more stable or reliable than relationships among spouses or lovers.

Love is a temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder. This disease, like caries and many other ailments, is prevalent only among civilized races living under artificial conditions; barbarous nations breathing pure air and eating simple food immunity from its ravages.

(18)

understanding, and fun. Throughout these words there is a clear emphasis on activity rather than passivity. Loving is an active process. When we feel loving it seems like we can not keep what’s inside; we have to reach out, touch, embrace, hold, kiss.

Devito (1985:199) says that:

1) Intensity. Loving feelings or behavior can vary in intensity from nothing to slight to some undefined extreme. Love can vary in intensity from giving a dime to beggar to sacrificing one’s life for one’s loved ones.

2) Extensity. Love can vary in terms of the degree to which it extends from outside the individual and may be solely a love of oneself (low extensity), may range to the love of all humankind (high extensity)

3) Duration. Like any emotion, loving can vary in duration from seconds to a lifetime.

4) Purity. By “purity” Sorokin tells that Love is motivated by consideration, sacrifice, integrity or the self or by considerations for the other person. “In-pure” love, in this system, refers to love motivated by selfish considerations without concern for the other person. Pure love is the love of an individual for the sake of the beloved.

(19)

totally dependent upon them. Adequate or wise love, on the other hand, has consequences that are positive for the beloved.

In love we find or we have sexuality, sex, romance, adoration, sympathy, desire, devotion, sacrifice, and compassion to someone we love.

Definition of Sexuality: Sensuality: A celebration of the senses. To be gentle and attentive to your lover. To open all the senses to the sensual experience. To smell, non sexual touch, taste, see, and hear your mate and not only during moments of sexual intimacy. To expand the lover’s connection. The following are some definitions concerning the sexual behaviour and others such as:

Sex: A more-than-physical act. To focus on openness and vulnerability, not only carnal lust. Not about techniques, position, scores or frequency. To seek a physical and spiritual union through sex. To lose the self in the other. To feel united for precious moment before we return to our separated state.

Romance: A lover’s gift. To make romance the path to connection, not necessarily orgasm. To express your attention through candles, poems, flowers, dates, cards, gifts, and longing gazes. To celebrate the attraction you feel toward your partner through attention and planning.

(20)

connection. To long for union. To fall in love is to burn in the fire of desire, to stay in love is to attend and rekindle the fire as the years roll by.

Devotion: A selfless dedication. To show ardent and selfless attention to the other. To continually replenish the cup of commitment, and offer it to your lover.

Sacrifice: A willingness to suffer for the sake of your mate. To be ready to give up your happiness to ensure your lover’s. To offer of yourself without resentment or expectation of anything in return.

Bliss: A blessing. To transcend individual joy in moments of mutual ecstasy and serenity.

Compassion: A loving instinct. To instantaneously feel for your lover’s pain and suffering. To feel without necessarily knowing or understanding the sources of your partner’s distress. To be open-hearted and let your compassionate love flow.

Loving it seems, is more likely to occur under the following general circumstances.

1) Both research and folk wisdom attest to the difference between loving and liking. One can be present without the other. We like someone we do not love, and we can also love someone we do not like. Yet it seems that in most situations we like and respect the person we love, with the liking and respecting coming first. When there is mutual respect.

(21)

extremely difficult because this is impossible to love another. When the

individuals have positive self-images.

3) Although we consider both sexual and nonsexual love, it seems there is a physical component in any love relationship. At best, we want to be with someone to love him her, and generally we choose not to be with people who is unattractive person. And attractiveness and unattractiveness are at least in part physical. When there is a physical attraction.

4) I t is difficult to love or be loving when we do not have anything to eat and no prospects of getting a job, for example. If we are on the verge of being convicted and sentenced to jail for life, it is understandable that we would think very little, if at all, about love and loving. We may, of course, worry about our loved ones and what will happen to them, but we would not be in a very good position to establish a new relationship. These examples are purposely far removed from our own experiences. But this is consider to individuals when they constantly worry abut and plan for their businesses. Their available energy for love is greatly reduced. When the individuals are relatively free of

significant problems.

While literary and poetic explanations of love and loving are varied and numerous, there are few scientific explanations that seem to have any merit. Two exceptions to this general rule with the intention of stimulating to reflection the nature of love in interpersonal relationships are:

(22)

essential for emotion. The first, which may take various forms for example, increased heart rate, sweating, increased breathing rate, facial flush, and so on. The second, when someone forces you to address an audience of several hundred people, you might label that as fear. Neither factor by itself is sufficient for the development of emotion; both arousal and labeling must be present.

Devito (1985:206), expanded the two factors theories to three factors. Three factors (or three components) are necessary, Berscheid and Walster say developing of love. First, there has to be some knowledge of how the culture defines love- that is, one has to know what love is. By knowing what love is – even if the individual has not yet experienced it- the person is in a ready state to find it, to recognize it, and perhaps to expect it. Second, the more one thinks about love is greater the chances for experiences love. There must be some appropriate person available to whom this love can be directed. (Naturally it helps if this available person possesses those qualities you find attractive or that meet you expectations). Third, there must be some physiological arousal that has been labeled love.

The process of the development love, then, would have three stages: we know what love is, are looking for it, and are ready to experience it. We spot a likely love object; we experience a physiological arousal that we label love, (The arousal may be stimulated by some love related activity like kissing, or perhaps by some unrelated activity like running or fighting).

(23)

behavior is learned for all time. First, there is a specific time in the life of individual in which printing occurs. Second, the time varies, but there seem to be influenced by rewards or punishment extrinsic behavior; apparently an animal may be imprinting even if it is being punishment occurring after the behavior is emitted. The behavior itself is apparently the reward.

If we attempted to combine these two positions, we would propose a fivefactors theory which would take the “Labeled Arousal” theory as a basis and add to it two “Imprinting” elements: (1) the actual presence of the appropriate love object or some clear symbolic representation, for example, a photograph or film; and (2) a specific time in life that love is apt to develop most readily. According to this synthesized theory, then, the entire process would go something like this:

1) We learn about love from our culture; we know what love is; we look for love; we expect love to happen to us.

2) We reach a particular point in our lives when we are ready for love-we are at the stage where imprinting is possible.

3) We see an appropriate love object or some symbolic representation.

(24)

2.2 Types of Love

The world love maybe differs from the time and it depends on individual to imply accordingly one’s motive. It seems undeniable for some to verify love is the same as like or vice versa. But, the words are closely connected, though they are different in meaning. To like means a broad range of positive feelings towards another person, and to love means a deep range of feelings of possessiveness.

Within the implied meaning of the word itself consists a lot of demands and consistencies. These are wrapped well in thematic expression of what content love is. Devito ( 1985: 190) clarifies the thematic characters of love such as emotionally or passions; a sense of commitment or loyalty, and a degree of sharing, openness, or mutual expression of personal identity. Of what is inherent in the love implication has been referred to genuine regard and sincere concern for intimacy and relationship.

Since love varies from culture to culture, it contains universal achievement such as belongingness in terms to love and to be loved. It is not only restricted to possessiveness but also to share upon other’s need. For instance, to give a penny for beggar is a sign of love on humanity or even to love all human kind as the creation of God. In its largest sense, love may cover sacrifiece, integrity or care for the other people and attention. It is commonly interpreted as the sort of pure love which love is coming up because it is motivated by concideration of good value of love itself.

(25)

are made different from the intention of love itself. In other words, the classification seems to identify the certain goal of love implication; of how the love is implemented in order to reach the achievement.

These sense of pure love, as the word suggest, is plain, honest and as white as a paper. Pure love is motivated by consideration to other persons with great attention foe the sake of integrity. Devito (1985: 199) implies that pure love is directed to achive joy and happiness. The feeling of joy has imprisoned someone to keep the sense of love in appropriate implication. He or she sense the pure love into selfish framework as if there were no higher value than what love is.

It is commonly accepted to define pure love for being ready to sacrifice. To have good example is the sacrifice of Romeo and Juliet, the world as known in Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”. They become icon of the world that represents the pure love meaning. For both of them love is more precious than the death itself. Thus, the sense of pure love is related with consequence of being ready sacrifice.

(26)

As what the meaning of love is different from one person to another one, it is pure love as an ideal conception or type of love, especially for lovers. Yet the key point of it is the obvious goal to mean the love. For some people the love experience could be a weapon which is ready to kill, but as sweet as sugar for the rest. It could be as bitter as black coffee, but as peaceful as the steram of the river. Beyond all, pure love is the dream of everybody in order to mean what love is in the boardest terms.

Characteristics of Pure Love:

1) Pure love creates joy and happiness. We feel happy when we close to someone we love.

2) Pure love is the condition of love which shows the feeling sacrifice to do everything for someone he/she loves.

3) Pure love is the most powerful energy in the universe because pure love is the only reality and once set in motion. Pure love can not be stopped by anything.

4) Pure love is the very fabric of existence. When we have pure love in our heart, everything fades into nothing.

5) Pure love is not something that we need to take out and display for others to see. Only we can feel that feeling.

(27)

7) Pure love is related to non-material, if we love someone not because the material or anything else but really pure not anything a reason.

Agape is a compassionate love; it is an ego less; self-giving love. Agape is non rational and non discriminative. Agape creates value and virtue by its love rather than bestowing love only on that which is valuable and virtous. The Agapic lover will love the stranger on the road, and the fact that they will probably never meet again has nothing to do with it.

Agape is a spritual love. One is not love altruistically if one loves with the thought that one will be rewarded in some way for this love or compassion. Agapic love is offered with no concern for any kind of personal reward again. The Agapic lover loves without even expecting that the love will be returned or reciprocated.

(28)

Agapic lover responds differently; even if hurt, the Agapic lover wants only the best for the beloved. In one sense, agape is more of a philosophical kind of love than a love most of us have the strength to achieve.

Devito (1985:203):

“Unfortunately, I have yet to interview any respondent involved in even a relatively short-term affiliation love relationship which I could classify without qualification as an example of agape. I have encountered brief agapic episodes in continuing love relationships.”

Each of these loves can combine with others to form new and diffirent patterns. These six, however, should be sufficient to delineate some of the major types of love and to illustrate the complexity of a love relationship. It is perhaps obvious to say that diffirent people are satisfied by diffirent things-that each person seeks satisfaction in a somewhat uniqe way. When it comes to love, however, this, “obvious” point needs to be highlighted. The love that may seemto you to be “lifeless” or “crazy” or “boring” may to someone else be ideal. At the same time, another person may see the same negative qualities in the love you are seeking that you might see in their. With knowledge of these various kinds of love, we may become a bit more tolerant and emphatic. A real problem does arise, of course, when a person seeking one type falls in love with a person seeking a vastly diffirent type of love. In this case, there seems no easy way to productive relationship.

(29)

are to be held in check lest they get out of hand and make trouble; passions never rise to the point where they get out of control. Ludic love is a self-controlled love- a love the lover carefully manages and controls rather than allowing it to control him or her. This lover is consciously aware of the need to remain in control and uses this awareness to guide his or her own behaviors.

The Ludic lover retains a partner only so long as he or she is interesting and amusing. When the partner is no longer interesting enough, it is time to change. And Ludic lovers do change partners frequently. Perhaps because love is a game, sexual fidelity is not something of major importance in a Ludic love relationship. The Ludic lover expects his or her partner to have had (and probably to have in the future) other partners and does not appear to get too upset if occasional partners are experienced during the relationship.

The dating patterns we have seen greatly influenced by ludic conceptions of love. In Ludic love (as in dating), there is no mutual claim and no long-time commitment by the partners. Instead, it is experienced because it is fun. When it stops being fun, the relationship is terminated.

(30)

relationship comes late, but even when it comes it never seems to assume any great importance. One great advantage of this is that Storgic lovers are not plagued by sexual difficulties as are so many other types of lovers.

Storgic lovers rarely say “I love you” or even remember what many would consider romantic milestone such as the first date, the first weekend alone, the first time we said “I love you,” and so on. Storgic love is a gradual process of unfolding one’s thoughts and one’s feelings; the changes seem to come so slowly and so gradually that it is often difficult for the individuals involved- and of course for outsiders-properly and accurately to define exactly where the relationship is at any point of time. Storgic love is sometimes difficult to separate from friendship: mutual caring, compassion, respect, and concern for the other person.

Not only is storgic love slow in developing and slow burning, it is also slow in dissolving. Storgic lovers can, for example, endure long periods of time away from each other without feeling there is any problem with the relationship. Similarly, they may endure long periods of relative inactivity or lack of excitement without feeling there is any relationship problem.

(31)

Morally and religiously, erotic love is contradictory and supposed to be sinful. It is breaking the border of religious principles for it tends to worldly satisfaction. Erotic lover places the feeling of pleasure given by love instead of moral consequence. The earthly pleasure offered by erotic love is more important than what the religion may give. So, the eros sounds to break what the people think right to do.

In this modern worldwith globalization characteristics, the erotic love is regarded natural. It happens because the tendency to have worldly pleasure is rampant. Let alone, the economic problem that happens globally has great impact to the change of social behavior especially for young people. That is why erotic is the best alternative way to find pleasure both phsiycally and materially.

Eros is an ego-centered love that is dominantly focused on his or her own self-satisfaction. Eros lover will feel satisfied when love is paid back with love phsically. Simp[ly to say, Eros lover will feel disappointed to realized that the body is not perfect to be loved. Thus, erotic love is body-oriented passion in which it is a guaranteeing passion to show love with whom. Simply to say, what is right morally and religiously of love will be contradictory with eros lover.

(32)

deriving as much pleasure as might be derived from relationship. Manic love is obsessive; the manic lover has to possess his or her lover completely-in all ways, at all jealousy, self-doubts, similar reactions are often experienced and can lead to the extreme lows characteristic of the manic lover.

The Pragma lover is the Pracmatical lover who seeks a relationship that will rock. Pragma lovers seek compatibility and relationship in which their important needs and desires will be satisfied. Computer matching services seem based largely on an assumption of pragmatic love. Compatibility is emphasized, so the computer will match persons on the basis of similar interest, attitudes, personality characteristics, religion, politics, hobbies, and host of other likes and dislike. The assumption here is that persons who are similar will be more apt to establish relationships than will persons who are different. This assumption is generally supported by the research on interpersonal attraction.

3. THE ANALYSIS

3.1 Edward’s Love

Edward Anthony Masen was born on June 20, 1901 in Chicago, Illionis, and was frozen in his 17-year-old body. Edward was also the main character in this story. While dying of the Spanish influenza, he was changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen after Edward’s mother, Elizabeth, begged him to save Edward as her dying wish. Edward only drank animal blood and had a special ability to read minds, with the exception of Bella Swan’s. He fell in love with Bella soon after she arrived in Forks.

(34)

only be called mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the persists in some cultures. Early folkloric belief in vampires has been ascribed to the ignorance of the body's process of in pre-industrial societies tried to rationalise this, creating the figure of the vampire to explain the mysteries of death. of vampirism in 1985 and received much media exposure, but has since been largely discredited.

The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century.However, it is the quintessential legend. The success of this book spawned a distinctive vampire popular in the 21st century, with books, films, and television shows. The vampire has since become a dominant figure in the horror genre.

Edward Cullen is a protagonist vampire and deep love interest of Bella. Though Bella repeatedly describes Edward as angelic, Edward is the first to acknowledge that he has a dark side. When he and Bella are first getting to know each other, he warns her, look at this quotation below:

(35)

“Do you?” His face was abruptly severe, as if he were afraid that he’d accidentally said too much. “You’re dangerous?” I guessed, my pulse quickening as I intuitively realized the truth of my own words. He was dangerous. He’d been trying to tell me that all along.He just looked at me, eyes full of some emotion I couldn’t comprehend.“But not too bad,” I whispered, shaking my head. “ No, I don’t believe that you’re bad.” (1)

Much of the tension in the novel results from Edward's very nature as a predator, a vampire. He's a conflicted character because he sees himself as a monster – he hates that he craves human blood, especially Bella's. He's horrified by his natural instincts.

When telling Bella about his past, he admits that he did, at one point in his life, give in and prey on humans. Edward returned to Carlisle and committed to the "vegetarian" diet after he "began to see the monster in [his] eyes" (16.82). Yet when Edward encountered Bella for the first time in Biology class, he almost lost control for the first time in decades:

"To me, it was like you were some kind of demon, summoned straight from myown personal hell to ruin me. The fragrance coming off your skin…I thought it would make me deranged that first day. In that one hour, I thought of a hundred different ways to lure you from the room, to get you alone. And I fought them each back, thinking of my family, what I could do to them. I had to run out, to get away before I could speak the words that would make you follow…" (2)

Despite his primal urges, Edward tells Bella,

"I couldn't live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me" (3).

Though he loves Bella, Edward struggles against his nature, and continues to worry that he won't be able to control himself and will accidentally hurt her.

(36)

Like many of the characters, Edward can be intimidating, gruff, aggressive, and jealous. He admits that he has a hard time controlling his anger, he's moody, he sometimes speaks harshly to Bella, he carries and drags her around against her will on occasion (because he thinks he knows what's best for her), and has to work hard to keep himself from killing anyone who threatens her. Like many of these other "bad boys," Edward could easily slip into being purely vicious, and has to work hard to exercise self-control. Despite their aggressive natures, most of these characters can be softened by the woman they love. Edward has some other unusual qualities that Bella finds attractive. When Edward saves Bella from the alley thugs, we learn that he's been following her around and just want to make sure that she is keep safe. Look at the quotation below:

“ Headlights suddenly flew around the corner, the car almost hitting the stocky one, forcing him to jump back toward the sidewalk. I drove into the road – this car was going to stop, or have to hit me. But the silver car unexpectedly fishtailed around, skidding to a stop with the passenger door open just a few feet from me.

“Get in,” a furious voice commanded.It was amazing how instantaneously the choking fear vanished, amazing how suddenly the feeling of security washed over me- even before I was off the street- as soon as I heard his voice. I jumped into the seat, slamming the door shut behind me.”(4)

Bella's response? "I wondered if it should bother me that he was following me; instead I felt a strange sense of pleasure". Interestingly, Bella also doesn't seem at all creeped out when she learns that he's been sneaking into her bedroom at night and watching her sleep.

Look at the quotation below:

“How often?” I asked casually.“Hmmm?” He sounded as if I had pulled him from some other train of thought.I still didn’t turn around. “How often did you come here?”

“I come here almost every night.”I whirled, stunned. “Why?”

(37)

“No!” I gasped, heat flooding my face all the way to my hairline. I gripped the kitchen counter for support. I knew I talked in my sleep, of course; my mother teased me about it. I hadn’t thought it was something I needed to worry about here though.(5)

3.2Bella’s Loves

Isabella Marie Swan was one of the main characters in this novel. She was a shy, clumsy, accident-prone teenage girl who had just moved from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington, to live with her beloved father, Charlie. Though many boys were attrected to her when she arrived but she fell in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious boy she discovered to be a vampire. Unfortunately, Bella hoped that she could be a vampire soon so that she could live with Edward forever.

Isabella “Bella” Swan moved from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, while her mother, Renee, traveled with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Bella attracted much attention at her new school and was quickly befriended by severel students. Much to her dismay, several boys competed for shy Bella’s attention.

When Bella was seated next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seemed utterly repulsed by her. He disappeared for a few days, but warmed up to Bella upon his return; their newfound relationship reached a climax when Bella was nearly run over by a fellow classmate’s van in the school parking lot. Suddenly, Edward saved her life when he instantaneously appeared next to her and stopped the van with his bare hands.

(38)

telling her the local tribal legends, Bella concluded that Edward and his family were vampires who drank animal blood rather than human. Edward confessed that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was too desireable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fell in love.

Their relationship was disturbed when another entered Forks area. James, a tracker vampire who was intrigued by the Cullens’ relationship with a human, wanted to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens attempted to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella was sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. There, Bella received a phone call from James, who claimed to be holding her mother captive. When Bella surrendered herself, James attacked her. Before she was killed, Edward, along with the other Cullens, rescued her and defeated James. Once they realized that James had bitten bella’s hand, Edward successfully sucked the venom from her bloodstream and prevented her from becoming a vampire, after which she was brought to a hospital. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attended their school prom and Bella expressed her desire to become a vampire, but Edward refused. It was because Edward had known that one day later Bella would be a vampire but the time had not come yet.

This is happen when the first time Bella met edward in Biology class. Look at this qoutation:

“As I walked down the aisle to introduce myself to the teacher and get my slip signed, I was watching him surreptitiously. Just as I passed, he suddenly went rigid in his seat. He started at me again, meeting my eyes with the strangest expression on his face, it was hostile, furious. I looked away quickly, shocked, going red again. I stumbled over a bookin the walkaway and had to catch myself on the edge of a table. The girl siting there giggled.” (6)

4. CONCLUTION AND SUGGESTION

4.1Conclution

After having analyzed the novel, I conclude that Stephenie Mayer’s Twilight is an interesting novel. It concerns with some part of interesting story about love. It covers in thematic element or main idea which is expressed dominantly through the text of the novel. The expression is referred to the main characters that are Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Both Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are individuals in love with each other.

Although Bella knows that Edward is a vampire that can be able to take her life any time. Thus, the implication of love is not merely blind expression for attaining personal aim. It should be at least reflecting universal like or want for each person. In other words, the sense of love values must contain true expectation of togetherness for being able to live together.

Twilight’s love values are reflected in her readiness to sacrifice for maintaining what she thinks right and morally acceptable. She knows that love never promises perfection in life. It depends on how she, as an individual, is ready to face any consequence of love implication. To say simply, it is love that a person wants to embody for it offers much of possibility. Love is like two sides of sword which sharp in one edge and is useful for the other one.

(41)

the consistency of love. There will not be true love without being honest in getting the hope of love. Bella Swan is very straight for it and she is ready to take any risk of choices such as disappointment.

Bella Swan believes that love is closely connected with attention. Expression of love is not merely a set of word arrangement. It denotes more of attention which covers care and mutuality. Bella looks this condition at Edward which is a ampire. Yet, for Bella to love doesnot mean to own if there is block to stop her wants. What she tries to reach is to dream the love values owned by Edward that seems to fulfill Bella Swan’s conception of love.

Not so far different with Bella Swan, Edward also has a view about love that refers to sacrifice, integrity and attention. He can control his self when he is with Bella and tells Bella who he is, and tells her that he is a vampire. That is why he puts consequence of love as related to integrity or honesty. The readiness to sacrifice is not to lose the value which is acceptable by all persons in general. Betrayal is a symbol of dishonesty which is not appropriate for love.

4.2Suggestion

Stephanie Meyer’s novel Twilight is an interesting novel. It is full with insights that relate to humanity. There are a lot of love experiences it wants to share for its readers. The analysis of love values as I have done in this analysis is only a piece from many pieces of experience it may give. I think students of literature may study this novel more deeply for having literary insights.

I hope this paper analysis may encourage students of literaturee to look closely at novel in general and Stephenie Meyer’s Jane Twilight in particular. This analysis can be made, I hope, as reference for further study of literature research. Irrespective of being subjective, the analysis of literature can be objective for it offers factual experience of human beings. This kind of phenomenon can be traced in the novel Twilight.

Finally, I hope much this analysis may at least add the vocabulary of literary study in which may be useful for students of literature later on. That is why this thesis analysis is open for further study in its weakness. However, theanalysis it offers has given the notion that is better to try than to do nothing. I hope this thesis may encourage students of literature to make vigorous research in literary works.

popularly known as “Pancho” in 1994. They were both 21 at the time of their marriage. The couple had three sons together, named, Gabe, Seth and Eli. Stephenie decided to stay at home to look after her sons.

In 2003 Stephanie asserts that she dreamt about the main plot of the entire Twilight series. That is, a mortal girl and a vampire who are in love. She went on to write what has become the 13th Chapter of Twilight for the sake of it without any intentions of publishing her work. However she contacted various literary agencies upon the encouragement of her sister. She received a positive response from Jodi Reamer of Writers House – just one out of the fifteen agencies she had applied in. Reamer helped in obtaining a $750,000 3 year book deal from Little, Brown and Company in an auction in 2003 – the highest figure the publishing house had ever paid a fresh writer.

In 2005, Twilight was published – a story detailing the romance between a teenage human girl, Bella Swan and immortal vampire Edward Cullen as she had previously dreamt. There are 4 books that follow Twilight which feature developments regarding Bella and Edward’s relationship. The Series was so successful and well received, particularly among teens that it was adapted as a movie, which also did very well, also receiving global recognition.

B. Summary of the Novel

Bella Swan is an accident prone girl who moves to live with her father in

Forks, Washington. Her mother Renee is marrying a man named Phil Dwyer, who makes her mother very happy. Bella feels that it would make her mother more comfortable with Phil's traveling job if she were living with her father Charlie Swan, who is the sheriff of the small town. Having lived in Phoenix most of her life, Bella is not accustomed to the rainy and bleak weather of Forks. She attends the local high school and makes few friends. She sits with Jessica Stanley, Mike Newton and Angela Weber at lunch. Her first week at school, she is told about the odd and mysterious Cullen family who adopted five children, four of whom were dating each other. Those five teenagers sit together at lunch and Bella instantly notices their unusual beauty, the fact that they never touch their food, and the way that other students avoid them while not understanding why they do so. As Bella attends classes, she finds that the youngest looking Cullen, named Edward, is in her biology class. When she is assigned as his partner for the class, he reacts poorly to her, acting as if he found her repulsive and he belives she is attractive in a seductive way but the adience is not aware of it yet.

(51)

class will be blood typing today. Upon seeing blood, she becomes woosy. Mike Newton (who has an obvious crush on Bella) immediately volunteers to take

Bella to the nurse. On the way to said nurse's office, they run into Edward, who has arrived just as class is ending. Bella has fallen sickly to the ground, and Mike is patheticallly unable to move her. Upon being told what's wrong, Edward chuckles, and scoops her up to frustrated Mike's protests. He takes her to the nurse, mocking her for her intolerance for so little blood. Angrily, Bella defends herself by explaining that it's the smell of blood that gets her. Shocked, Edward says "People can't smell blood". "I can" she retorts.

(52)

seriously asks "What if I'm not the hero, what if I'm the monster?", making her all the more curious about him.

Over a weekend, several of Bella's friends decide to have a bonfire on a beach at La Push, the Quiluete Native American reservation. Bella invites Edward to come, but he declines, telling her that he and his family are not welcome at the reservation. He will not say why. At the bonfire, Bella meets the son of an old friend of her father's - named Jacob Black. As the teens tell scary stories around the fire, Bella becomes intrigued at Jacob's knowledge of the Cullen family. Getting him alone, she coerces him into telling Quiluete legends until he gets to the one that Jacob's father (Bella's father's friend Billy Black) claims is about the Cullen family. According to the stories, they are "Cold Ones", or vampires. Jacob scoffs at the stories, saying his father is a crazy old man. But to Bella, the pieces begin to fit and she puts it all together.

(53)

Edward suggests he take her to dinner as a distraction. On their way into the resteraunt they run into Angela and Jessica, who head home without Bella.

After dinner (as always, Edward did not eat), in Edward's car on the way back to Forks from Port Angelos, Bella confronts Edward with what she has learned from Jacob. He reluctantly admits to being a vampire, and confirms that so are the rest of the Cullens. She then asks how he knew she needed saving. He explains that he has been following her, feeling a need to protect her. He knew she was coming to Port Angelos because he can read minds... all minds except for Bella's mind. So, he had been listening to Angela's and Jessica's thoughts to keep tabs on her. When she left them, he lost her for a while, but managed to find her by scent just in time. Hearing the would-be-rapists' thoughts about Bella nearly sent him over the edge. He needed Bella to distract him so that he could stop himself from hunting them down and killing them all.

(54)

usually nomads. The Cullens are one of only two covens (that they know of) that do not feed on humans. They jokingly call themselves "vegetarians". Edward also dispels the myths that they sleep in coffins and have no reflections. However, he says that they truly can't go out in sunlight (the Forks area is almost always rainy). However, that is not because the sun harms them. Edward refuses to tell Bella what happens when he goes out in sunlight, but promises to show her someday.

Now that they are being completely truthful with each other, their relationship begins to turn to romance as the two find they have deep feelings for each other, rather obsessive. However, they never so much as touch hands, Edward makes sure of that. One day, Edward tells her that the sun will be coming out that weekend, and he wanted to show her a place he loves up in the mountains. Enthusiastically, she agrees to go with him, though she doesn't know where. However, as the appointed day nears, Edward tells her to reconsider going with him, warning her of the danger of being alone with him far from help - from witnesses. Undaunted, Bella tells Charlie and her friends that she is going shopping in Seattle that day. After Edward comes to pick her up this news infuriates him. He makes it clear that he does not trust himself to not harm her. However, Bella wants to prove her faith in him, and they continue. In Bella's slow-moving truck (as she insisted) they drive to the base of a trail, and they hike for three hours until they reach the edge of the most beautiful meadow Bella has ever seen.

(55)

(56)

Not wanting to part just yet, Bella asks Edward to stay. After Charlie goes to bed, he sneaks in her window. They lie on her bed holding each other. Embarrassed and sheepish, she asks if he finds her sexually attractive. He laughs and replies "I may not be human, but I am a man." However when she adds "I was hoping that someday....you and me...." he becomes sad, and stiffly replies that that would be impossible, as he can never afford to lose any type of control when he was with her, she was too fragile. Edward tells her that vampires cannot sleep, but that he will stay with her as she sleeps. In the morning, he takes her to meet his family. He is amazed when she tells him that despite the fact she is about to walk into a house full of vampires, she is scared they won't like her, not afraid for her life. The Cullen house is out in the woods, and dbeautiful. Edward explains that the reason that the Cullens are rich is because Alice is so good at predicting the stock market. The entire family is waiting for her inside, and hey all love her at once, and she is welcomed as practically a member of the family. Esme is especially delighted that Edward has found someboddy to love, she being very motherly. Only Rosalie doesn't like her (which is unexplained until the sequal "New Moon"). Jasper, though friendly, stays far from her because he still has trouble staying on the "vegitarian" diet. Edward plays a lullabye he wrote for her on the Cullen's grand piano.

(57)

(58)

Edward also told of the other Cullen's histories. Esme jumped off a cliff after having lost a baby. Carlisle fell in love with her, and changed her. Rosalie was bleeding to death in an alley when Edward and Carlisle came upon her (explained in the third book). Later, Rosalie was out in the mountains and found Emmet mauled by a bear. Loving him at once, she carried him all the way back to Carlisle, afraid that she wouldn't be able to change him. Carlisle did not change Jasper or Alice. The pair wandered into the area one day, Alice said she had seen a vision of them, and they wanted to live the Cullen lifestyle. Jasper was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War when he was made a vampire. Oddly, Alice has no recollection of when or where she came from, a total mystery to this day. Edward also ashamedly tells of a time when he went through a rebelious stage, and left Carlisle to hunt humans. He tried to feed on only "bad" people, like murderers, but one day he looked in the mirror, saw his dark, blood red eyes, and penitantly returned to his father.

(59)

Leaning her agaisnt the jeep he kisses her softly until she agrees, then kisses her hard once, and like their first kiss he has to stave her off. Making it clear that he is far from completely mastering his self-control around her, he exclaims she'll be the death of him, then slings her up, and they run to join the others in another clearing.

Bella and Esme (as referee) watch the others play baseball, and all is well until suddenly Alice halts the game, warning that other vampires are on their way...the bad kind. Three vampire nomads - Laurent, James, and Victoria - enter the clearing and are intrigued by the gathering. Zeroing in on Bella, they ask if the Cullens will share their "snack". When Edward moves protectively to sheild Bella, James, the Tracker, notices. Now it is too late, this is what James loves: a challenge.

(60)

Jasper, Alice, and Bella are stuck in a hotel room together. Bella feels awful - guilty and frightened. Jasper begins to use his ability to calm her. Talking with Alice while Jasper is out, Bella learns that usually people die when bitten by a vampire because like a shark, they go into a feeding frenzy. In order for someone to become one of the undead, they must be bitten but not drained, and that takes more self-control than most have. The vampire venom works in them then, for three days of unimaginably excruciating pain, one of the many reasons Alice says Edward refuses to change Bella. Later, Alice has a vision of a dark room with mirrors, and she cries out "Bella!" before coming to. Jasper is concerned for her, and sits with her while she draws the room from her vision. Bella looks over her shoulder, and recognizes it as the ballet studio she went to as a child. This worries the two Cullens even more. The cell rings, and Bella answers in hopes that it's Edward. It's James. In the backround Bella hears her distressed mother. James says he will let Renee go if Bella meets him in the ballet studio. He gives her until noon to break away from her protectors, which seems impossible to Bella.

(61)

can watch him kill Bella later. He sniffs her, mocks her, trips her as she tries to flee, breaks her leg, and throws her into the mirrored wall. She lies bleeding to death amid shards of glass on the floor, and James goes in for the kill, biting her wrist.

Just then the Cullens rush in, and drag James off of her. Three of them: Edward, Alice, and Carlisle kneel over Bella. Alice braces Bella's head as Carlisle works on her leg. Edward holds her hand and begs her to live. Bella's whimpers turn to screams as the place where James bit her wrist begins to burn. Carlisle (who was the one to change the others) realizes what is happening, and tells Edward he will have to suck out the venom or she will become a vampire. Terrified, he proclaims he can't, that he'll be unable to stop himself from draining her dry. But Carlisle urges that he must because the only other person that could is himself, and her leg must be tended to immediately. Steeling himself, Edward sucks on her wrist, which initially makes Bella hurt worse, and Alice has to brace her harder, but then after awhile she starts to feel sleepy and the pain numbs. All that is left to be seen is if Edward can stop himself before killing her...and he does, triumphantly proclaiming "Her blood tastes clean". By this time James is dead (having been ripped to shreds and set on fire - that's how you kill a vampire) and the ballet studido is burning down. Edward picks her up, and Bella loses conciousness as he carries her.

(62)

making in a vison. To add to the insult, James had told that he knew where Alice came from. He even knew her last name. The reason she couldn't remember anythign was because she had been locked away in a dark cold hole of an insane assylum because of her visions. Her unfeeling family had faked her death and sent her there to rot. James found her and wanted to make her his, but an older vampire beat him to it, and he had wanted vengeance ever since. After Bella is through absorbing this story, Renee comes into the room, Carlisle having called her (Alice had too much fun fabricating an "accident" at a hotel), and Edward pretends to be asleep. To please her mom, she proclaims Edward to be just a crush, and her mom leaves. Edward then tells Bella that he really is just a crush, and she can't beleive he could think that! Bella demands Edward to promise to never ever leave her. He feels that all this is his fault, and will only agree to promise not to leave her so long as she needs him. He kisses her softly and the heart moniter goes wild.
