In these fanfictions, a common theme is the exploration of the grey areas between good and evil. Bella as a villain may not be entirely bad; she might have her reasons for her actions. There could be themes related to moral ambiguity, where her actions are not clearly right or wrong. Additionally, the theme of identity crisis can be present. As she becomes a villain, she may struggle with who she is now compared to her previous self in the original story, and this internal conflict can drive the plot forward.
She might be portrayed as a villain by showing her being manipulative. For example, she could use her relationship with other characters to get what she wants, like using Edward's love for her to control his actions or decisions.
The theme of self - destruction is also present. The villian's actions often lead to their own downfall in the end. Dorian Gray's excessive pursuit of pleasure and his immoral acts ultimately lead to his destruction. Similarly, Victor Frankenstein's ambition to create life without considering the consequences results in his own tragic end. These themes help to make the villian origin story more complex and interesting.
Power could be a motive. She might want to have control over the vampire world or the humans in Forks. So she starts doing villainous things to gain that power.
