| Summary: | A good number of readers branded the Twilight series as amateurish, emotionally empty, inane nonsense, naïve, conservative, monotonous, contradictory, or trivial.1 These are Twilight haters who mostly populate the internet; but no matter how much they dislike the work, they could not deny its enormous popularity. Such popularity has been acknowledged by literary critics who have fairly recognized the importance of analysing Twilight.2 However, most of their critical studies did not pay attention to the fact that this popular appeal is an indication of the readers’ response to an element in the novels which relates to their own longings, needs, or desires. Indeed, Twilight has struck a chord in the heart of its readers. The "powerful element" in Twilight that produced the kind of impact on readers is, however, neither evident nor openly announced by the author. Analysis could, however, identify it and bring it into the open. Moreover, a fair amount of thoughtful study may be required to clarify what that ‘chord in the heart of its readers’ would refer to. |
