For Julie Albright - You asked why everyone likes Bella from "Twilight" so much....?

I agree with you I also like Bella's character not as much as Jasper but I still find her so different from almost all of the fictional characters out there. She is flawed and knows it which is why when she finds Edward and they connect on a level she has never known before she is willing to risk everything including her life every time she is with Edward. She is a hopelessly in love in a way we haven't seen since Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy, and Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, and Cathy and Heathcliff.
