This irks me always then even though EB becomes 2 bodies and one soul. and bella turns to a vamp why isnt Edward capable of reading her mind? 😕Its strange that this puzzle has been kept unsolved. According to bella her mind works the other way round, and not in the range of Edward's frequency but thats nonsence. 😆 I have a feeling that there must be some vampire theory hidden in it. Edward won't be able to read the mind of his beloved, this is smth probably he is not aware of and others don't have this mind reading power so none actually understood this mystery.🤔

I think because.. she has a power of shielding herself including her mind... so before becoming a vamp the shield was there and it protected her mind from Edward.. and after becoming a Vamp.. .she could still protect her mind including herself.. and also anyone else she could... that is why her mind is a mystery to Edward.

Hope this helped!!

umm im not talking abt breaking dawn, i was referring to twilight. She was a humangirl and very much like Jessica or Angela then what made her different that Edward failed to read her mind. She dint have the power of shielding when she came to Forks, the powers came once she turned to a vamp and that happened in breaking dawn😕 ..that kept her mind a secret from Edward which is possible probability but why in the 1st book?
Is it possible that she was born with some supernatural powers😛. Like she was a magnet to accidents n all, she had the sweetest scent that did the churning effct in the vamps.. and smth she had within herself since she was born that kept her mind not readable for edward..

Volturi's power dint work on bella because that shield kept her safe. She says that in the fight if anyone remains alive that it will be her.

Remember Edward said that Vampire bring along there strongest traits from there human life into their vampire life....so Bella's sheild i think has been there forever....she doesn't know this until she meet edward as she has never encountered any sort of mental pressure or power enter her mind before (or might have but she would not know about this). I believe that her shield only shielded her mind in her human life and therefore was very vunable phyically but when she transformed into a vampire, her power gainned strength and maybe that why she can protect herself and other phyically and mentaly from attacks with her shield in her vampire life. Look a Jasper...it is said that in his human life he was very charismatic and could influenece people to see his point of view in a situation...he has always had this in his human life...and now that he is a vampy his power has gainned strength and he cna alter peoples emoitons by changing chemicals within the body. Also at the end of BD she lets Edward in her mind and he can see al her memories...i think this is what has been blocking edward..her shield
I think this is why Bella is a mystery...but i do agree it is very confusing...i do believe that SMeyer has left too many loopholes and loose ends untided!
Good topic Di!!!

It's genetic... 'cause Edward describes that Charlie's, Bella's father, thoughts are "muffled"... because Edward only gets a gist, or more specifically the "emotion" of what's really going on inside Charlie's mind... so Edward basically hears only every other word of Charlie's thoughts... {in case u were wondering, my references are from the few chapters of Midnight Sun on Stephenie Meyer's website...}
of course, this is only one of the other reasons for Bella's "mind-shield"...

Meyer said the reason for which Edward could not read her thoughts was because Bella had a VERY private mind. Her thoughts were always very very personal...You gotta belive what the authour says..😛That quality got transformed into a heightened power of sheilding herself and other people when she became a vampire. I always thought a person's best qualities becomes their special power when they are turned into a vampire and going by that theory maybe Edward was a observant person when he was a human..

Jasper's and Alice's powers work on a person's physical form... and Bella can only shield her mind - mental form {and others' minds in BD)
and u see Alice can see where Bella will be, physically, in the future but nothing about what she's going to be doing there or what leads her there... (i hope im making sense... 😳)
