Comparing Relationships In The Night Runner 'And Twilight'

Love Hath No Boundaries

A relationship is not based on just two people, but of the foundation of trust, commitment and effort. Both people need to put in the same effort so as to make the relationship work. Without either, the relationship is doomed. The Night Runner, written by Max Turner and Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke express a similar theme, how the differences between two people will not intrude in the relationship if they are really in love. This occurs because there is a way to make the relationship work, which can be done by acknowledging and also accepting each other’s differences as well as having the same mentality.

Now that Zach and Luna are vampires, they think alike more than if she is not. The urge to kill for blood, disliking of the sun, and sharing the same feelings will all be amplified and shared with one another. This will help keep their relationship working and intact. Similarly, in Twilight, the protagonist, Bella even though she is not a vampire just yet, shares the same mentality as Edward. In the movie, Edward takes Bella to see his vampire family. Edward knows that she must not tell anybody about them. When talking with Rosalie, Edward’s adoptive sister, she threatens her when she says Bella will be the next meal if she tells anyone. Alice, Edward’s sister, also sees that she will eventually become a vampire, in the future for example, when Edward
