Last Sunday, I plopped on the couch with a snack and blanket and opened Netflix. I was looking for a new and interesting movie to binge. Twilight popped up on my screen as “just added,” and I was thrilled. As I watched the movie, Bella was going to live with her father, and she experienced some unexpected events. Bella had been placed in the middle of a war between vampires and werewolves, stuck between the two sides with the same intent to protect Bella. This movie explores a love triangle that is a common theme in many movies and series.
The movie’s love triangles are so important in most romantic movies, and they cause a lot of chaos and tension between the characters, which fills the movies and series. I think they are much better when they have a love triangle because of the tension between characters.
When we look at the movie Twilight, Bella, the main character, is in love with Edward, a vampire, but Jacob, the werewolf, is in love with Bella and won’t stop fighting for her. This causes tension between Jacob and Edward because they both love the same girl and would do anything for her, and Bella is forced to choose one.
The movie Twilight has multiple movies, and they all have a love triangle in each movie that holds tensions with live triangles.
With the third movie, Bella and Edward are going to get married, but Bella hasn’t told anyone, and while Bella is with both Edward and Jacob, Jacob overhears them and causes much tension between Jacob and Bella.
The tension between the characters drives the plot in the movie, which helps viewers understand the narrative and keeps them engaged. Most romance movies have almost a necessary tension between multiple characters, and the love triangles hold that tension throughout the movies.
