In the story Bella swan falls in love with Edward Cullen. This is similar to lieutenant Jimmy Cross in the things they carried, the characters in twilight show us how captivating love can be.

In twilight Bella becomes so attached to Edward and was so focused on her love for him and his love for her that she withdrew herself from school social activities with her friends. When Edward breaks up with her Bella spent months in depression doing nothing but crying, and sleeping when she could handle the pain for a moment. Then she became an adrenaline junkie because when she did dangerous things she could hear Edward talking to her telling her to be careful.
