    In this book, "Twilight" Edward Cullen is part of a family of vampires.  He was made a vampire at age 17.  He meets Bella at school and doesn't want to know her, but subsequently falls in love with her.  The story is about the love between Bella and Edward, a human and a vampire.  His love for Bella, the first human he has loved since becoming a vampire contributes to his commitment to resist human blood and feed on animals only.

    Edward Cullen, a major charactor in "Twilight", is an immortal vampire that drinks animal blood rather than human blood.  He falls in love with the new girl at school, Isabella Swan.  Edward is very strong just like any other vampire and is fast compared to other vampires. 

    We discover in the novel that he dated back to the 1900s.  Him and his mother became ill in a deadly influenza outbreak.  Just before she dies, Edward's mother pleads with the Carlisle, the doctor, to help Edward overcome the sickness.  Feeling he must respect Edward's mother's last wish Carlisle saves Edward by changing him into a vampire.

    In the book "Twilight", Edward Cullen is the alluring vampire who Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart), falls for. Although he doesn't want to know Bella her falls in love with her. The story is about the love they have for each other and how it is hard for him to be around her because her blood is so tempting. Bella is the first human that he has fallen in love with since he was made a vampire when he was 17 years old. The reason for his change was because him and his mother were hit with a bad case of influenza in the 1900's. Just before she dies Edward's mother asks Carlisle, the doctor who is also a vampire, to save him. He respects his mothers dying wish and changes Edward into a vampire.
