I need to consume things from my past to experience nostalgia, while
Twilight, a product from the present, can evoke nostalgia. While this
arguably cheapens the experience of nostalgia, it also shows a
frightening mastery of the human psyche by Stephanie Meyer. Whether or
not she realizes it, she understands how to make nostalgia out of
nothing with her writing. She creates a feeling for the past without
actually being related to the past. While the novel may suck, I think
it should be respected because it displays a deep if unwitting,
understanding of how a portion of the population nostalgically
remembers their childhood. |
