Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
What's with the apple!?

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!.

That's directly from Meyer's website!. http://www!.stepheniemeyer!.com/twilight_f!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Stephenie Meyer has stated that the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis!. It symbolizes Bella's and Edward's love, which is forbidden, similar to the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as is made obvious by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that opens the book!. It also represents choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The apple represents the forbidden fruit, from the genesis quote!. Bella is the "forbidden fruit" in a way!. Edward and Bella should not have been together by the laws of nature, and yet they both "ate the fruit" so to speak, and faced the consequences, both good and bad!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It profiles the theme of CHOICE!.

Like Adam and Eve had to choose to not eat or eat the apple!. The Genesis also resembles a beginning!. That was the beginning of their story, and it is where Bella chose Edward, despite the consequences (you know!.!.!. "forbidden")Www@QuestionHome@Com
