Ok, so I'm reading the Saga again for the 4th time.
I'm vey analytical in what I read, and there is this piece in Twilight that still has me lost.
On pg. 302 when Edward says "Bring on the shackles - I'm your prisoner. But his long hands formed manacles around my wrists as he spoke" and also when he held her hands behind his neck on pg. 305, I don't now what to make of that. I don't understand why he would do that. He seems so forceful there. Can someone help me make something of this symbolism please?

Oh no hes not being forceful hes only joking around saying that he quite happy to have the old ball and chain.

It knid of reminds of when Bella tells Edward that she doesnt dance and he says 'I could always make you ' and she says 'im not scared of you' and then he says ;you shouldnt have said that'.
The whole 'I could always make you' of cause could sound abit forceful but of cause he is only having a laugh. Edward's a proper gentleman I couldnt ever imagine him being forceful in the slightest. TEAM EDWARD. :-)

That's a good way of putting it. If Bella didn't like what he was doing, I think he would have stopped. I agree, Edward really is a proper gentleman. I think he really is just teasing Bella. Even though he has the ability to make her do what he wants, he's way too much of a gentleman to actually force her to do something she didn't want.

:-)

Thanks you guys. I guess I understannd now. =)
