  1. Two gorgeous monster boys fight over Bella and they carry her around and they tell her how much they love her and want to protect her. All the other girls are jealous of my cool boyfriend. So by association, I must be cool too. If you're a "Twilight" reader and you identify with Bella, these are exciting fantasies to have because they gratify, what Doctor Father calls, "His Majesty the Ego, the hero of every day-dream and every story." All of this I think is pretty obvious. But where things get controversial, and to many people disturbing, is when you start introducing darker themes into your romantic wish fulfillment fantasies.
