Weekly Analysis of Twilight

The pop culture topic to be analyzed is the series of books written by Stephanie Meyer about vampire love. The first book in the series was Twilight and become very popular once the movie came out last year. The movie started a crazy phenomenon when over five million people saw the movie. This sent everyone running to buy all the books in the series. The second movie based on the second book named New Moon is due to come out in November of this year. The other books in the series are Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
The reason I chose this topic is because over the last six months I have discussed the series of books with so many people that I have come across. Most of the people are women and vary in all ages. I have discussed the books with girls as young as twelve, to teenagers, to women in their twenties, thirties, forties, and even a women that is sixty-five. I think that it is amazing that women of all ages believe in the same idea of true love at the cost of anything.
The author of the books, Stephanie Meyer, has stated on her website that she thinks humans are boring therefore, she wrote about vampires. When I read the books and saw the movie, I was instantly drawn to the romantic tone and it did not matter that the characters were vampires and werewolves.
I think this popular culture is important to understand because it shows that women of all ages are hopeless romantics and still believe in love. Any company that sells a product and wants to grab the attention of or appeal to women should understand this concept. By understanding what women want, the company will find the best way to advertise to them.
