If you’re like me you have started counting down the days until the last installment of the Twilight series is released. I have talked with friends and surfed the net for interesting theories about what will happen in Breaking Dawn. Here are a few of my favorites, if you have your own theories I would love to hear them. This just in...a revealing interview given by Stephenie Meyer...http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20215228,00.html
~ Breaking Dawn is loosely based on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Peter Pan”.
~Tanya and her clan come down for the wedding. Jacob also secretly plans to attend, when he sees Tanya he imprints on her, causing the Vampire and Werewolf worlds to come together in a way no one expected. Sam: "This is not something our treaty anticipated. This is a danger to every human in the area."
~The following quote was tied to Breaking Dawn. “Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age the child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.” Edna Vincent Millay. At the end of Peter Pan, Peter goes back to visit Wendy, and she has children and is old but Peter never fell out of love with her. Although they loved each other Peter let Wendy go. SM could have changed it to the “what if Peter and Wendy had stayed together...”
~If anyone has read a Midsummer Night’s Dream, the characters are easy to match and we know that this play shows that the course of true love never did run smooth. Bella is HermiaEdward is LysanderJacob is DemetriusAnd lovely Helena…T.B.D of course, but according to everyone…Tanya possibly. In the story Hermia’s father approves of Demetrius, and Lysander is frowned upon, but it is who Hermia is unconditionally in love with. Hermia and Lysander run away together and Demetrius pursues them. Helena also follows because she is in love with Demetrius. After all the fairies interfere we are left with a love complex, Demetrius forgets about Hermia…as does Lysander and they both turn their affection towards Helena. Helena is absolutely beside herself with Demetrius but doesn’t understand Lysander and Hermia is left heartbroken. More faerie magic ensues and the world rights itself, and Lysander and Hermia are together and Helena and Demetrius are together, so in the morning the fair lovers are “fortunately met.” This is a direct quote from MSND and it’s from Demetrius…”I wot not by what power, but by some power it is, my love to Hermia melted as the snow, and all the faith, the virtue of my heart, and the object and the pleasure of mine eye is only Helena.” To me that sounds just like imprinting on Jacob’s part and Bella and Edward end up together in the end.
~ Alice has been nice to Bella from the beginning? Does anyone believe that she could be too nice? I think that Alice and Jasper have plans to get rid of Edward and Bella. They are the only people in the whole series not only close enough to Edward and Bella but they also have the power. They are the most likely candidates. Bella constantly says in the series that she LOVES Alice like a sister. I bet Bella would be stunned to know that her favorite 'sister' was plotting against her the entire time. Please also notice that everyone trusts Alice with everything. She's always there to help and not one of the Cullens would suspect her. Jasper could be giving Edward the false sense of security that his siblings are harmless. This fits in so well with the preface and even the cover. Alice is the queen (white for vampire). And poor Bella is the pawn (red for blood). Bella (the pawn) is being played by Alice (the queen with all the power).
~Bella will become a powerful vampire and kills Jacob. Or Jacob kills her out of instinct.
~The Book Cover: The red chess piece (pawn) represents sacrifice, being taken out of the game. The red stands for blood, passion and fire. Blood=Edward, Fire=Jacob, and Passion=both. The white (Queen) which represents Bella. The white stands for purity, virginity and innocence. The Queen can do what she wants to the pawn and has to sacrifice one of them.
~Billy has a heart attack, causing Bella to postpone the wedding throwing her and Jacob together again. Jacob continues to try and talk Edward into having Bella stay human. The Volturi arrive and are upset Bella hasn’t been changed. And a war breaks out.
"As August 13th draws closer, Bella is more sure than ever that she has made the right choice - forsaking her human life to spend eternity with Edward. But a new enemy stalks closer, seeking to tear Bella and Edward apart forever, one with ties to both Vampire and Werewolf. Can the treaty between the two hold? Or will the new threat force both sides to settle their blood feud once and for all? Because when the dawn breaks an angel will fall."
