Hello everyone,
I wanted to add a few comments to the subject of Bella's condition being more prone to becoming a vampire. After taking everything that has been said on the subject into consideration, I think the reason Bella seemed made for the vampire life is due to her experience with managing pain since her childhood. Whether it was due to a medical condition or a behavioral condition or both (which I’m starting to think), Bella has harnessed the pain in her life, whether physical or emotional, and has subconsciously mastered control of her reaction to it. Whether she is overriding it or compartmentalizing it, she is an expert at working at not letting pain control her and with the added bonus of being self-taught. Which is another reason she blended in so well with the Cullens as a human and in her vampire life as well. She was already living their lifestyle to a certain degree. Like she said, “that’s just how life is for me”. Bella was and is an expert at pain management. Consequently, in becoming a vampire and gaining even more strength to manage even more pain, it was kind of second nature to her. Her efforts remind me of the Hulk in the new The Avengers film. [Spoiler Alert]The secret to the Hulk controling his powers is he is ALWAYS angry. In Bella's case she is ALWAYS in some sort of pain, whether physcial or emotional or sometimes both. Though in the Hulk’s case, he manages his anger so he can control his strength/power consciously. Although, . . . . anger is a form of pain as well. Hmm . . . Maybe they are more alike than I thought. In any event, with all this being said, Bella’s realization of seeming to be accurately shaped and fitted to her vampire state as appose to her human state, “It was like I had been born to be a vampire”, sure seems like destiny and vampire-Bella meeting up with each other and both saying to one another “I’ve missed you”.
PS Isn’t it ironic how Bella lived, and lives, with the struggle of the sight and smell of blood while human and vampire?
