I will say in the defense of Esme she wasn't born in modern times like Bella so the modern sensibilities that Bella grew up with weren't a thing for Esme. Esme was born and raised in a time where it was a women's job to be dutiful. Regardless of being free spirted. I think this is why she couldn't be a dutiiful wife to her first husband was because she didn't love him. That is why this behaviour is less shocking for Esme and comes across more stifling when seen in Bella. As well we have to keep in mind there wasn't a dating process back then. It was more of Hi, so you're going to be my future husband. Nice to meet you. Next week there married and being enamored or liking your partner was starting a marriage on the right foot. Esme got that with Carlisle and not with her first husband. So in short everything was much easier with Carlisle even becoming a Vampire. As well Esme's Vampire ability is supposed to be her inhanced caring motherly nature. I do think this is lacking in the books. Where as we see more of this portrayed by the actress, I like that we get a look of shock and horror when Carlisle is killed in the vision in breaking dawn or how she is visibly taken Leah scarfices herself in the battle for Esme. That is the true mark of good actor in my opinion someone who can not only read the lines but embody the character. It's not the actress's fault all of Stephanie Myers female characters all share the same glaring problem. They are shells of what well written female characters would be like. As they are written by an author who is a part of patriarchy forward clut where women are second class citizens and that is deeply ingrained in all of them. Like the famous words say Keep Sweet and Obey. So all the female characters are version of this perfect wife stero type to there more fleshed out male counterparts who are aloud to struggle and be "human" but the women are not.
😂😂 it’s one of the reasons why Robert Pattison hates twilight with a passion. The author was so obsessed with him. He also did not like the twilight fans. He will never talk about it ever from what I remember it he said twilight gave him opportunities, but also ruined his life fans were terrible and the only reason he interacted him is because he said when he was having bad days he would just take a random fan that was outside his hotel room have dinner with her and then leave her there.
I do like twilight but I have to say, SM is not a good author (the books are not well written from a literary standpoint) and kinda weird. Robert Pattinson mentions thats she super into this fantasy world of hers she’s created and I think that means it’s the life SM wished she could have. (She has a husband and kids so its honestly kinda weird, again I still love twilight but SM is an interesting person who created Bella as a self-insert for herself)
It's a shame the movies never really touched upon the backstories of some of the Cullens, namely Emmet, Alice, and Esme. I really wanted to know their stories too before they turned into vampires. Maybe the books cover it and I should actually start reading them.
The 1st Twilight is the best of Esme’s outlook which is younger looking & more vivacious..why would they changed her hair to be darker brunette to look more matronly in next series of Twilight is a wonder..which makes her looks older..why would she need to be more motherly bcoz she’s after all a vampire & they never aged regardless of which centuries they originated..

my excuse is that I was 12 and under. Stephanie Meyer is weird.

The books are basically exactly like the movie no more extra backstory
Alice has a back story video here on RUclips. Emmett 1915-1935, mauled by a black bear in Tennessee.
@@louisepeens7006 if I remember correctly there's some of Emmett's story in Midnight Sun
