I wonder is Meyer a little confused

Hmmm... I don't see the connection. Maybe between Edward and Heathcliff, because they're so creepy, dysfunctional, and obsessed. But Gilbert Blythe and Mr. Darcy? No way.

It sounds like Mrs. Meyer is trying to make a connection where there really isn't one.

(And when I see Twilight editions of these classics, it makes me wonder if she wasn't told to say these things, just so the publishers could make some more money selling classics to kids who are probably going to get bored after 20 pages).
