S. Eliot scholar and I think this is GENIUS! It is hilarious and I am going to send it to my students. Incidentally, I taught "Twilight" last semester and, while my students were all excited about it, in the final analysis most of them admitted that they found other gothic novels (like "Wuthering Heights" and "Dracula") to be a lot more powerful and "Twilight" to ultimately be flawed and derivative. Take that, Stephanie Meyer! ;) Keep up the good work on your blog, Jaime :) I am an English professor and a T. S. Eliot scholar and I think this is GENIUS!
