Edward Cullen is a character from the Twilight series. He is Bella’s true love and soul mate, but what makes his character captivating in the novel, is that Edward is a vampire. As Twilight fans know, the twilight plot does not depict traditional vampires, but vampires with superpowers and motives that may be well intentioned. Edward is a leading character in the Twilight series, a story of the star crossed romance between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, because Bella is human and Edward is a vampire. Edward Cullen was turned in 1918 into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen and he has chosen to be a vegetarian vampire to avoid being a monster. For those who read the books, or even watched the movies, readers know Edward’s history, and that even though Edward has a dark side, he is a just a good person (or in this case good vampire). Edward Cullen’s character has become transparent to readers, but some details about him have become hidden in the Twilight universe, and even if you are an avid fan you might not know these facts.
