Title of the paper : Exploration of Romance between a Vampire and a Human Girl in Stephenie Meyers Twilight

Abstract: The Twilight series focuses on the role of empathy as a communicative, cross-cultural tool used by the author to convey the message that human commitment is the key to happiness. It also raises the issue of the readers emotional distress and the authors use of empathy in popular fiction to fuel the series in order to continue to feel with familiar and respected characters. Readers who have made Stephenie Meyers Twilight series an international bestseller in the young adultteen pop-fiction market reflect the vital role that popular literature plays in their emotional experience. The message of this pop fiction phenomenon is as old as its legendary characters of vampires and shapeshifters, yet its massive book sales merit analysis of the authors role in manipulating the readers affects to successfully convey her vision of happiness. The study here on the role of empathy in the Twilight series attempts to place this book phenomenon in the context of the recent work of two specialists on emotion in literature Susanne Keen and Patrick Hogan, and is also inspired by the mainstream of Martha Nussbaums book. to work on the human capacity to identify with others through empathy or compassion, which is stimulated by reading fiction. Meyer seized the moment in terms of what 21st century teens and young adults want to read about. By looking into the Twilight series and invoking features of its ongoing plot and main characters, it is possible to interpret how the author uses emotion to convey a particular message of human engagement and how it ultimately reads and feels. from a reader. Regarding the theory of emotions, my analysis is based on the premise that bestsellers of pop fiction cannot be ignored because they accurately reflect a vast area of human emotional life.
