What does the cover of twilight mean?

Answer 1

This is Stephenie Meyer's explanation straight from her website ( stepheniemeyer.com )The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology-look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice.Also, keep in mind that in the movie when Bella and Edward were in the cafateria Bella... being clumsy as usual, dropped an apple. But guess who was to the rescue? Edward ofcourse. The apple pops off the tip of his shoe into his hands as he holds it with care in his two hands. A short but Meaningful moment in the movie.

Answer 2

The cover of "Twilight" features an image of a pair of hands holding an apple, which represents temptation and references a scene in the book where the character Edward offers Bella an apple. The colors used, black and red, suggest themes of danger, passion, and romance found in the story.

Answer 3

The apple on the cover of twilight represents the forbidden fruit. Stephanie Meyer used the scripture from genisis (located just after the table of contents) because she loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil".

Answer 4

Well, on the front cover there is an apple right? The apple symbolises Bella(Or Edward) as a forbidden fruit. It works both ways.

Bella is a 'forbidden fruit' because it is against Edward's nature to love a human, because he wnats to eat her all the time.

Edward is the 'forbidden fruit' because he is immortal and his lifestyle isn't easy to adapt to. Also he is a 108 year old vampire

Two hands who offer you an apple you really can't resist. Not knowing if that apple is poisonous or not Bella takes it anyway, caught in between twilight.

Answer 5

If you read the book you know that when Bella is at the salad bar in the school cafeteria, an apple falls of her tray and bounces off Edward's foot. It lands in his hands and he holds it out to Bella. That's why there is an apple on the cover.

Answer 6

An apple is forbidden to be eaten in The Bible story in the garden of eden, thus the apple is a symbol of the forbidden fruit.

In this case, Twilight has a forbidden love between a vampire and a human.

Answer 7

Nothing important. It's just when Bella drops her apple in the cafeteria Edward picks it up within 2 seconds lolz.

the apple symbolizes the idea of Adam and eve... the forbidden fruit

Answer 8

Well the cover's picture is Edward holding an apple and the apple is supposed to symbolize the apple of Adam and Eve other wise known as a forbidden fruit which in this case it's forbidden love because Bella is a human and Edward is a vampire.

Answer 9

First of all it represents the forbidden apple. In the Scandinavian mythology a apple also represents enternal youth and beauty.

Answer 10

The apple represents the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate. For Edward, Bella is the "forbidden fruit" so it's kind of like reusing the whole concept from the story of Adam and Eve.
