Why did Stephenine Meyer named her 3rd book eclipse?

Answer 1

its called eclipse because it signifies how Jacob cant compete with Edward. Bella thinks of Jacob as her own personal sun and at the end of the book when she tells him this he says "the clouds i can handle but i cant fight an eclipse" meaning he cant even compete against Edward. Jacob is the sun and Edward is the moon and during an eclipse the moon covers up the sun meaning Edward will overshadow Jacob personally i think that is genius to think of Edward and Jacob as the sun and moon during an eclipse and to title the 3rd book eclipse

Or, a more 'anti-Twilight' view, because you can't look at it directly.

Answer 2

Hey,

The book is called Breaking Dawn because it refers to Bella's human life ending and her Vampire life begining.

Answer 3

Eclipse is called eclipse because-quote from page 599 of eclipse: Jacob: He's like a drug for you Bellla, I see that now. I would have been helthier for you bella. Not a drug; i would have been the air, the sun. Bella then rambals about Jake being a personal sun and stuff about clouds Jacob: The clouds i can handle, but I can't fight with an eclipse. The eclipse & drug analogies are refering to Edward, I think the clouds ar something to do with Mike Newton and Jessica & people like that.

Answer 4

because both the sun and moon are up in the sky together in the book.

Answer 5

One book series of twilight is called eclipse because everything happens on an eclipse night and that's the setting....
