Twi-Hard Irony

In Chapter 2, Bella and Edward discuss their future after they get married. Bella wants to have sex while she is still a human but Edward is scared he will hurt her. Then they talk about how they can never have a child. Edward says that he should be "giving her things, not taking them away," and then Bella tells him to "stop moping." I have to pause and consider the irony of Bella's statement because Bella is famous for being mopey. All she does is complain. The first chapter is her complaining about her horrible life being engaged to the man of her dreams, driving a fancy car, having unlimited money, understanding parents, and going to college without having to pay for it (is this Breaking Dawn or the Diary of Anne Frank?) So it is ironic that the queen of moping is telling someone else to stop moping.
