New Moon Book Review: Chapter Twenty-Four
In chapter twenty-four, Bella takes a vote on her mortality and wins, meaning that eventually Edward (or one of the Cullens) will have to turn her into a vampire.
Bella admits to hearing voices (WHY DIDN’T EDWARD RUN AWAY AT THAT?) and is still convinced that Edward is going to leave her.
Edward: I’m never going to leave you ever again, darling. I can see that you are completely defenseless and need my help with everything.
Bella: Don’t leave me Edward.
Edward: I’m not going to leave you.
Bella: Don’t leave me Edward.
Edward: I’m not going to leave you.
Bella: Don’t leave me Edward.
Edward: I’m not going to leave you.
Bella: Don’t leave me Edward.
Me: Fml.
Then Bella says this, which makes me want to hurt someone.
“‘Please let me finish. You all know what I want. And I’m sure you know what Edward thinks, too. I think the only fair way to decide is for everyone to have a vote. If you decide you don’t want me, then… I guess I’ll go back to Italy alone. I can’t have them coming here.’”
Please Bella, for the love of God, just stop. You’ve dug yourself already into a Mary-Sue hole. Don’t pour sand on top of yourself.
If you are not well informed on Mary Sues, one of the most common cliches is that they will sacrifice their lives to magically save everyone else in the story and make everything else okay.
