Bella and Edward

I posted this in the Twilight Series spot, and I thought it might also get mais perspective here :)

This is sort of an informal rant/observation.

We all know that New Moon is about tragedy and the loss of amor and the aftermath. Edward left Bella. But why did he leave her?

Since New Moon is being adapted into a feature length film, I've been seeing alot of perguntas and accusations reguarding Edward's absense.

Examples:
- Jacob's better than Edward because he didn't leave Bella!
- Why would Edward leave Bella if he loved her?
- Edward's scum. When you amor someone, you don't just abandon...
