I may not agree with her, but I have to admit she has some sound reasoning behind her opinions.

I've only read the beginning of it (no time), but for the record, I loathe Romeo and Juliet for those very reasons-- it's not a story of romance, but teenage hormones. In fact, there are theories that Shakespeare was parodying the concepts of "true love." I actually don't think that Shakespeare is that subtle in his parodies, but one could definitely turn the play into a parody.

EDIT: About the feminist comment. It's not about the fact that Bella has a baby as a teenager or any of that stuff, and the writer is right, the feminist movement in the US was about equality and the right to choose one's own lifestyle. My qualms with Bella is that she is portrayed as a woman who is completely dependent on a man who is borderline abusive, and is willing to let him hurt her so long as he doesn't leave her. This isn't a choice, it's an addiction. Just like people don't choose to keep shooting heroin into their veins.
