Passion.

So the episode of Buffy  (“Passion”) that I watched today started off with Angel hovering over Buffy in her bed, watching her sleep.  This totally reminded me of an Edward and Bella situation.  I loved it.  This episode was mentioned in the “High School is Hell” article.  The whole metaphor was about Angel not being himself anymore after he slept with Buffy.  When Buffy and Angel slept together, Angel reached a point of true happiness, which caused his soul to be taken from him.  After his soul was taken, his only goal was to kill Buffy.  He will do anything just to make her miserable.  He starts by killing Willow’s fish, then tries to kill Buffy’s mom, then eventually kill’s one of Buffy’s teachers.  Buffy has a very serious talk with her mother, and tells her all about how Angel has changed.  This really made the theme obvious, considering they purely talked about how Angel was not the same as he used to be.  Why does this happen in so many relationships? I guess having sex either makes a couple even stronger, or ruins their relationship.  It can change a relationship for the worst if this is all one of the people is looking for.  Even though Angel wasn’t just looking for sex in his relationship with Buffy, that is what happens in many cases.  Usually it’s the girl who gets screwed over in relationships like this, but it can happen to the guys as well.  It’s always smart to play it safe in a new relationship, and make sure the choices that are made won’t hurt what you already have.
