Werewolf vs. Vampire: Conflict resolution


Authors Note: Conflict is very obvious in the Twilight series. Two different monsters fight over everything, the only agreeable thing is that they both are immortal. This made writing a conflict resolution piece very easy to write about. 


Werewolves and vampires; one’s fuzzy, one shines, one sleeps, one doesn’t, one lives, and one does not. They both fight over the girl, the people, and the territory. It’s an endless war between the two people, more like species, in the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. I would consider it a Person vs. Person conflict. The two societies clashing every time they interact with each other. Their cultural differences and beliefs make it exceptionally hard for them to look in to each other’s eyes.  Two men, one from each the vampires and the werewolves, fight over Bella. She’s just a quiet outcast, new to the town of Forks. Jacob, werewolf and Edward, vampire, fall head over heels for Bella creating the Ultimate battle between the two supernatural monsters. One of the biggest questions was who should she choose.

Bella, it’s the girl both Jacob and Edward wanted. Although, in each book Bella and Edwards relationship grew just a little stronger and she ends up married and with a half vampire child. They love each other, but the space imbedded in both Bella’s and Jacob’s heart is that special spot that no one else can take up. Bella understands the love Jacob has for her and always will. In the end of the series Jacob learns to swallow his sorrows and look elsewhere for love, he learns to live with the scent of the Vampires and learns to coup with his jealousy. Both vampires and werewolves will never fully agree or connect in anyway, but learn to live with each other’s differences for the  girl each loves.
