Two very interesting imaginary characters- vampires and werewolves are more often than not placed against each other to spice up the drama of a horror flick. When played well along with a strong plot and dramatic sequence, it can be very gripping for the audience and be the key to success for the movie. The Twilight movies have tried capturing this same essence.
The Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer is a collection of four books- Twilight, New moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, each one has been transformed into reels from pages, with the exception of Breaking Dawn, that too would be available for cinematic experience in some time.
Edward Cullen is the enticing vampire and Jacob Black, the werewolf as well as the soul mate of Bella, the human object of love of both the werewolf and the vampire. Stephenie Meyers has made another imaginary delineation between the Vampires that suck human blood and those that are vegetarian. This vegetarianism is a formulation of her mind. Vegetarian does not mean what is relevant in human context. Vampires, being vegetarian imply that they feed on animal blood instead of human blood. It was Edward’s father’s discovery.
The movie depicts both Edward and Jacob with immense physical strength. In one such instance of strength exhibition, Edward saves Bella from being hit by Tyler’s van. And Bella falls in love with the very charming, marble-skinned, 17 year old vampire instantly. And soon it is reciprocated by Edward too.
Werewolves are meant to keep the vampires in check. Jacob is the best friend of Bella. But with the Cullen family moving into Forks, the latent werewolf genes in the werewolves gets activated. Generally the werewolves have a lifespan and style like that of the humans- they live and die. But with vampires around them, their latent genes stir up and there is a werewolf population explosion.
The werewolves unlike the vampires have the choice of living like humans, growing old and then facing death eventually. But if they choose to become werewolves, then they gain their immortality and like vampires never age.
One very effective difference between the vampires and the werewolves is that vampires are very cold and conversely the latter are burning hot.
Bella gets sort of sandwiched between an old werewolf best friend and mesmerizing vampire lover. These two imaginary species are believed not to be able to stand each other. Having visited the Cullen’s, when Bella goes to meet her friends and Jacob, they keep resenting the blood sucking, vampire-ish smell emitting from Bella. And the same happens when she has visited Jacob and then goes on to visit the vampires, she gets to hear the complain of smelling wolfy.
In the movie, the treacherous rivalry is worsened due to the liking developed for one human girl in her contemporaries belonging to each of the two species. Finally Bella long to be bitten y Edward so that she could join the league of immortal vampires since she is scared of ageing while Edward still remains impeccable at the constant age of 17. At the same time the rival werewolves have unwavering eye on the teenage girl and the story continues and unfolds gradually through the Twilight Series.
