The popularity of the vampire saga can be safely called world. And the main characters of Twilight, whose names can be found in this article, are now known to everyone. The film directed by Katherine Hardwick, based on the novels by Stephanie Mayer, became cult after the release of the first part, and with each subsequent it attracted even more viewers of all ages.
The heroes of Twilight are humans, vampires and werewolves.
Bella Swan
The main character is a seventeen-year-old girl, Bella Swan, on behalf of whom the story of the events of the saga is mostly told.
A distinctive feature of Bella is her sluggishness and clumsiness. She often stumbles, touches objects and does not know how to dance at all. Her character is restrained, insightful, a girl can be stingy and stubborn. It’s hard to make contact with unfamiliar people, considering himself unsociable and uninteresting. Secretive, her thoughts most often remain hidden from strangers.
Bella was the only person whose thoughts Edward could not read. After she became a vampire, the girl understood why this was happening. It turns out that she, like Edward, always had paranormal abilities. She could consciously create an energy shield, thanks to which her thoughts were inaccessible to everyone.
As a vampire, Isabella learned to control her abilities, and in particular, to stretch the shield for some distance, as if covering all those who were next to her, but she herself was removed. So Edward could finally find out what Bella was thinking.
On the screen, Bella was embodied by actress Kristen Stewart.
Edward Cullen
The heroes of "Twilight" from the Cullen clan differ from other vampires in that they try not to create problems for people. Edward Cullen is the main male character in the vampire saga. He is a vampire who drinks exclusively animal blood. His abilities are reading thoughts and ultrafast movement in space. The main character traits are self-control and restraint.
In the role of Edward in the saga "Twilight" appeared Robert Pattinson.
Edward Cullen's date of birth is June 20, 1901. At the age of seventeen, he picked up a Spanish woman. His father, also Edward, died in the first wave of the epidemic. And the mother, whose name is Elizabeth Mason, struggled with the disease for a long time. It was she, on her deathbed, who asked Carlisle in every possible way to save her son from death. And he turned Edward into a vampire. It happened in 1918.
Like other Twilight heroes who are vampires, Edward is immortal. He has perfect vision, exceptional hearing and a keen sense of smell. His golden eyes, which can darken and lighten, depending on the degree of hunger, combined with pale skin terrified many people around him, but not Bella. She saw in him not a cold-blooded vampire, but a handsome man with a velvet voice, a mysterious smile and a piercing look.
After meeting with Bella, his world turned upside down. Her smell, like a magnet, attracted closer and closer. He understood that it would be difficult for him to cope with the desire to bleed her, so he tried to avoid meetings. But Bella, captivated by his mysterious look, did not understand why she was drawn to this strange person more and more. Thus began their love. It can hardly be called passionate; rather, it is platonic. However, the director and actors did such an amazing job with their work that from the languid glances that the protagonists of Twilight (photo can be seen in the article) throw at each other, goose bumps ran through the body.
Carlisle and Esme Cullen
Carlisle is the father of the vampire family. Its elegant appearance and noble pallor in many ways characterize the internal features, namely, wisdom, prudence, humanity, justice. Esme, the wife of Carlisle, is the standard of calm and kindness. She tries to help everyone who needs it. And taking care of children is the main business of life. The harmonious relationship between Carlisle and Esme makes us believe that vampires can also have high feelings.
Jacob black
The heroes of Twilight are not only humans and vampires. An important role in the saga is given to werewolves. This is, in particular, Jacob Blake, who in the first book of Stephanie Meyer is an episodic character. And already in the "New Moon" Jacob becomes one of the main characters. He fights with Edward for the heart of Bella, whom he has been in love with since childhood. The actor Taylor Lautner, who played the role of Jacob, perfectly conveyed the ardent love and passion, which are in sharp contrast with the restrained love of the vampire Edward Cullen. Hot temper and straightforwardness are the main personality traits.
The protagonists of Twilight, whose names are mentioned above, are certainly the most significant characters, largely defining the storyline of the saga. But secondary characters, such as Charlie Swan, Tanya Denali, Alice Kalenn and many others, make up the overall impression of the picture, betray the plan of the writer and director, and also affect the fate of the main characters.
