Abstract

The article analyzes two value paradigms implemented in the “Twilight saga” by S. Meyer. The author interprets the image of Bella Swan (Cullen) as the main bearer of life-affirming paradigm, based on, in general, traditional family values: love, sacrifice, loyalty, etc. – due to concept of hermeneutics of individual.
