Can't. Stop. Giggling. The Bella/Edward sticker is the sparkly icing on the cake of angst. If I had to to classify their relationship in terms of Victorian women's lit, I'd go with "The Yellow Wallpaper." Over-controlling males and relaxation-induced dementia all the way!
I really do need to read Wuthering Heights. Have you read The Eyre Affair? The main character (her name is Thursday Next, hand to God) "mediates" events in literature (as well as chasing down bogus work of Shakespeare, etc.). At one point she goes into WH and it's hilarious because all the characters just won't stop arguing.
