It sounds like it's the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
We have a winner...Now, how is the Cowardly Lion and Edward simular?

Actually he needed a heart that needed fixing...diane771 wrote:He's not. ding, ding, ding,
Ah, that makes more sense now. Of course, the idea of "fixing" someone while in a relationship is where self-knowledge comes in. One with such an understanding, I believe, is in a better position to accept quirks in others. People who don't know and accept themselves have a hard time doing so with others and tend to project their insecurities onto the other person, whether the "flaw" is actually there or not.una wrote:Good observation and I agree. However, I think what we were leaning towards is the idea that some people have about finding someone and thinking, if they would just stop doing this or start doing that, they'd be perfect. Or those that enter a relationship with the "need" to "fix" someone. I never saw either Edward nor Bella attempting to fix the other. They accepted each other, flaws and all. Now, I agree, people can change and it is usually and outside force that makes them change...but only if THEY personally WANT to change.
Huh? I thought that was the Tin Man. Ok, now I have that America song stuck in my head, thanks Dark Knight!The Dark Knight wrote:Actually he needed a heart that needed fixing...
No DK the Tin Man needed a heart The Lion needed courage. Gotcha again. Wow!The Dark Knight wrote:Actually he needed a heart that needed fixing...diane771 wrote:He's not. ding, ding, ding,
I agree, I feel that people who have a realistic understanding and acceptance of themselves tend to be more accepting of others and their perceived flaws. Now, I think we've discussed how both Edward and Bella both have their own insecurities...could this be the root of some of their relationship/boundary issues?Angelvamp wrote:Ah, that makes more sense now.

I don't particularly see how Bella and Edward relate to any wizard of Oz characters at all, actually, because I don't think either of them were searching for anything.
