This is something that has always bugged me about this story. The Cullens are always worried about people finding out they’re vampires, so you’d think they’d try to blend in. But they don’t.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen is a 23-year-old doctor who has adopted 5 extremely attractive teenagers, 4 of whom are widely known to be dating one another, and they all live together in a secluded mansion in the middle of the forest. In the real world, people would think this guy is some sort of pervert and this family would be investigated for incest by child protective services.
The Cullen kids wear only the best designer and couture clothing and drive expensive luxury cars to school in a small town where 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. A small town doctor’s salary would not maintain the extravagant billionaire lifestyle they seem to live, and this would raise the suspicions of authorities. Dr. Cullen would be investigated for insurance fraud, organ harvesting or being a drug lord secretly selling painkillers on the black market.
Carlisle Cullen belongs on “To Catch a Predator”
I thought of another thing that always bugged me about the Twilight story. If we go by the book, Carlisle is supposed to be 23 years old (they made him older in the movies). Would that not be extremely suspicious? Wouldn’t even Charlie Swan (the world’s least observant cop) think something is weird about this 23-year-old doctor who came from out of nowhere with all these extremely good-looking teenage adopted children living in a secluded mansion? And the ‘kids’ are all widely known to be dating each other? That just screams “Hey, this guy’s some kind of weird pervert and this family is into some freaky shit!” Way to keep a low profile.
see I’m not the only one who sees a problem with this part of the story
