The Host: Mind, Body and Soul

Leah · Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 8:02 pm Post subject:

Personally, I think Ian is kind of like Edward. I mean, they both are protective (except Ian isn't annoyingly protective), he's very... romantic? Maybe that's the word. His dialogue is similar to Ed's, as he says stuff like "I held you in my hand, Wanderer, and you were beautiful". Also, he has a family member that dislikes his love.
I think that a ton of the characters in the Host have some of the same characteristics of the Twilight characters.
Jared is really good at fighting and the survival life, like Jasper. Jeb is insanely curious like Aro, Jamie kind of reminds me of Seth in some parts, Wanda is sooo much like Bella... in almost everything.

What do you think?

whoa...I never noticed that?! Well kind of with bella and wanda and Ian and Edward...but the rest I didn't notice...nice observation...but still...some of the other characters were original...just some of the main ideas resembled Twilight a little...Stephenie Meyer is great at coming up with new characters...but still encorperating the main Characteristics that we love...yaay for her...=)

[quote="IanLover]
I agree with most of it. I have a question though. HOw is Jeb like Aro? I havent read the twilight books in a while so my memory is a lil dusty.[/quote]

Well, they're not THAT alike. I mean, Jeb's more courteous. Mostly it's cause they're insanely curious. That's both of their primary characteristics, in my view.
Actually, I think that the books have a huge similarity. SM is really into different species. It's funny - the vampires in Twilight could be connected to the humans in the Host. Ian (who's like Edward) happens to fall in love with someone he originally tired to kill (Edward just thought about it...), and a family member ends up hating what his girlfriend is. Both happen to fall in love with a different species, and both girls are similar.
It's just a little theory I have, and maybe I'm construing all kinds of things out of nothing. Wink

Idk. It's just interesting.

I agree with Vampyress!!!! I'm sure SM wants her characters to not be compared with each other. No matter the similarities.

i'm glad you love him... but please don't compare him to the Twilight characters. I'm trying to break the thoughts... it's annoying hearing who they're like.
