In the novel, "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, the two main characters, Bella and Edward, have to overcome many different obstacles in order to be together. For one, Jacob Black and his father are determined to keep the two lovers apart. On one occasion, Jacob is bribed by his father to go to the prom, and give Bella a message, "...he wants you to break up with your boyfriend," (Meyer 492). Jacob and his father are mysterious, and Bella can't figure out why they are so determined to keep her from Edward. But Bella loves Edward so much that she doesn't pay any attention to the Blacks' words.
Another obstacle is that of Rosalie. Rosalie is one of Edward's adoptive "sisters," and she is extremely jealous of Bella. She struggles with being a vampire and wishes she were human. To hide her feelings, she acts mean and resentful towards Bella, "What is she to me? Except a menace..." (Meyer 401). Even with Rosalie's uncomfortable manner and spite towards the couple, Edward and Bella never waver in their deep love for one another.
Finally, Bella has to deal with her many admirers, especially Mike. His attraction for Bella is obvious, and he is extremely jealous of Edward. He even tells Bella he doesn't approve;
"You and Cullen, huh?" he asked, his tone rebellious...
That's none of your business, Mike," I warned...
"I don't like it," he muttered anyway.
"You don't have to," I snapped. (Meyer 221)
Even with Mike's constant nagging and disaproval, Bella and Edward don't let it affect them, and continue loving eachother no matter what anyone thinks. Bella and Edward have to overcome many obstacles to be together, but they wouldn't have it any other way. Having to overcome these obstacles strengthens their love for one another.
