Abstract

The article critically examines the Twilight saga, arguing that it romanticizes stalking, domestic violence, and controlling relationships by framing them as acts of love. Bella, the protagonist, is portrayed as a victim who idealizes these harmful behaviors, making her a problematic role model for young women. The series, while a fantasy, perpetuates dangerous stereotypes and normalizes violence in relationships, influencing works like Fifty Shades of Grey and impacting young audiences' perceptions of love and control.
