What is example of an analogy in Twilight?

Answer 1

Do you mean the apple on the front cover?

If so, it signifies the temptation that Edward has to Bella, because it's the Forbidden Fruit in Adam and Eve.

Also in the book Edward Cullen says to Bella "It's twilight. It's the safest time of the day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?"

=======================================

The apple on the cover would have been creative IF Bella was religious. But she is NOT, so the symbolism is utterly lost on the reader since Bella does not care about god, or even care about Edwards views. It would have been all the more better if the vampires were actual vampires, being cursed by god to never see the sun again. Making The Bible quote all the more relevant, but it is NOT relevant since Bella just jumps whole hog into temptation and ignores any views that Edward might have about him being a 'being of sin.'

The quote about darkness would have been a LOT more powerful if he only spoke of the sun going down and saying that darkness is safe for vampires, but deadly for people. This would have established long held beliefs that the 'dark' is evil, it is a bad place to be, almost CURSED. You could even have Edward wish for being able to be brave enough to kill himself by the sunlight to see the sun once again. Meaning that he wants to end his curse, but is afraid of what LIFE AFTER DEATH would mean for a creature that is basically utterly sinful. And used to now of an immortal life, it would show his fear of change, as well as show his fear that he is utterly cursed so badly that not even 'god/sun' would look upon him.

But as twilight lacks all of this it is just bull crap. Because any symbolism is lost of the reader because NO ONE relates to it. Not even the temptation, Edward NEVER draws Bella to him, she dives after him and never thinks twice. She wants to jump his bones regardless of what he is. A good way of making this quote more... say SYMBOLIC you can have her be hesitant to do this, but NO. Bella does not care about anything that anyone thinks including Edward himself and just wants to be immortal and have sex.

Answer 2

in the first book the cover represents an apple which means something like the forbidden fruit. the second one is about new moon, new moon is the darkest night in the month and is connected to the darkest period of Bella's life. the third book - eclipse means that the sun - Jacob was replaced by shadow - edward. sort of the places change, Jacob looses the fight over Bella. in breaking dawn no one is actually sure what the title means - i belive it like a change, a beginning of a new life or something like that. im sure its connected to renesmee.

hope i helped :D
