Twilight la saga Domanda

Why are the Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. described as ice cold?

Many times in the narrative, Edward and the other Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are described as ice cold. But if that's derived from them being dead with no body heat, shouldn't they be at room temperature only? Then the only time they'd be ice cold would be when it's below freezing. Is it just exaggeration?

Maybe they can't retain heat at all? Throughout the series, they are compared to things like diamond and stone, right? Well, diamonds can't retain heat and stones don't stay warm for long, so it could be that. They aren't mammals either, so it's not like their can regulate their body temperature.

I guess that's possible. I always thought the stone and diamond comparisons were just about the hardness though.

Same here. I never really wondered why they were icy cold, but when te asked I started thinking and it's the best I can come up with really.

This can also relate to the parts when Edward felt about his soul, plus they never go outside in the sun in public.

It's never detto metaphorically, it's literal temperature not describing someone's soul o mental state. Plus rooms inside are higher than 0 C even if there's no direct sunlight.
