The Impact of Twilight Book Series on Culture

Twilight is a fantasy book series by Stephenie Meyer, whose story is centered on a girl who falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire and at the same time being pursued by a werewolf (Anderson, Ayles & Dickinson, 2011). This book series was highly popularized in popular culture, especially after the creation of a film series that was based on the books. Twilight had a great influence on a lot of teenagers and created a wide subculture of fans. Twilight played a big role in promoting the traditional culture of gender roles, which was emulated by the fans of the series.

Edward, the book’s leading male role, was very protective of Bella, the female lead role. He performed his role as her boyfriend according to the traditional expectations. He was very protective of Bella, and he made sure that she had access to all things that she needed. Since Edward was a vampire, he protected Bella from all kinds of negative influences that his kind could cause to her, since she was human. The representation of the male and the female gender roles in Twilight helped to strengthen the tradition ideologies.
