Along the lines of the post about feminism:
Maybe this is going to sound offensive; oh well. So I don't really know anything about Mormonism other than shit I hear in the media, and it sounds like Mormon wives are real into being home-makers. S.Meyer herself is a professed stay-at-home mom. The heroine, Bella, is always being "good" by cooking a lot (in New Moon, she says she was above reproach because she "only rarely served leftovers"), or cleaning. When she's not being distracted by Edward, not fantasizing about being a Cullen, and not doing homework, she's a) cooking; or b) cleaning. More cooking than cleaning. A big source of her pride when she's with Jacob Black in New Moon is her cooking prowess. In fact, a lot of New Moon is nauseating to me because of this whole domesticity deal. Is this S.Meyer's Mormon tendencies rubbing off too much on her characterization of Bella? Is this just the way Bella is?
What do U think?
