Abstract

In Janice Radway's article, "Women Read the Romance: The Interaction of Text and Context," Radway analyzes a group of suburban housewives who tend to read romance novels as an escape from their everyday lives as wives and mothers. Similarly, the popularity of the teenage vampire book series, twilight, can also be analyzed as a way for their readers to escape from their everyday lives. According to the author's website, the twilight series has been sold in 39 countries and over 42 million copies have been sold worldwide. The last book in the twilight series, Breaking Dawn, sold 1.3 million copies in its first day on-sale, breaking publisher records. The movie version of twilight has grossed over $340 million worldwide since its release on November 21, 2008. Because the series appeals mostly to teenage girls, we are able to see that the feeling of the need to escape begins sooner than when they become wives and mothers.
