Who's a monster and who's not? Careful! Before you try to answer that question as it involves the characters in the Twilight universe, you need to be ready to look beyond the obvious. The Twilight Saga is peopled with vampires and werewolves and humans. You'd think the answer would be simple - the vampires and the werewolves are the monsters, right?
Throughout the saga, we meet characters that struggle with what they are. They seek to overcome their monster nature. We've examined this, in particular, in relation to Edward; but many of the others also grapple with this tension between what they are and what they want to be.
In Breaking Dawn, we meet another such character. His name is Nahuel, a vampire/human hybrid that travels from South America to meet the only other hybrid he's ever heard of that isn't related to him. During Nahuel's birth, he destroyed his own mother, so he's shocked when he sees Bella . . . alive, after having given birth to Renesmee.
This is the story of how a man, full of self-loathing, with the self-imposed label of "monster," reacts when his perspective is challenged. Check out this new lesson on the Lessons Page.
