Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
okay everyone who is talking about new moon!.

YOU ARE WRONG!. it represents nothing, Stephenie Meyer did not, i repeat did NOT, have anything to do with the cover of New Moon!.
Her editor choose it!.

Twilight;
The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit!." She choose the cover to work with the quote at the start of the book "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil ect ect"
Quote from Stephenie Meyer!.com ;
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!.

New Moon;
Choosen by editor, has nothing to do with the book;
The flower on the front of the book is a 'ruffled' Tulip!.
Quote from Stephenie Meyer!.com ;
Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not!. Covers, for example!. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments!. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one!.

Eclipse;
The broken ribbon represents the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob, she can only have one of them 'breaking' the relationship between the other i!.e if she chooses Edward she won't be able to talk to Jacob and vice versa!.
It also represents the decision of becomming a vampire!. Throughout Twilight and New Moon all Bella wants is to become a vampire but in Eclipse she really starts to think about what she is leaving behind!. In this situation the ribbon represents Bella breaking the tie between mortal and immortal!.

Breaking Dawn;
The chess pieces represent Bella's struggles throughout the saga!. i!.e Her relationship with Edward is based around the fact that he is a vampire and so much stronger than she is!.
She starts off as the weakest player on the board, being a human and needing protecting, to becoming the strongest player on the board ( The Queen) by saving the Cullens in the fight with the Volturi!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

this is what i think,,,if u have read the book youyknow what i mean

twilgiht-Bella is the Apple!. She is Edward's forbidden fruit, his temptation!. !. that why the hands are pale white


new moon-the flower is wilting!. in the book when edward leaves her, it completly destroys bella!. the flower represents bella when he left her, and jacob had to put her together again!.!.the pieces being the falling petal!.

eclipse-ribbon represents a path, and the break is kind of where Bella has to make her choice!. She realizes she loves both Edward and Jacob, and that puts a stop to her progress!. But then the ribbon continues like her love with Edward!.

breaking dawn-well Stephanie Meyer herself said that the cover of breaking dawn meant this!.!.!.both the pawn and the queen represent bella!.!.!.the pawn represents bella's mortal life and the queen is her new vampire life

HOPE THIS HELPS Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Apple stands for the forbidden fruit of the tree of good and evil from the bible in genisis!. The Flower represents nothing the author didn't choose it the editor did!. The Ribbon dosen't mean anything!. Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga!. She began as the weakest player on the board: the pawn!. She ended as the strongest: the queen!. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens!.

Twilight- The Forbidden Fruit
New Moon - The petal falling is Edward leaving!.
Eclipse - Bella being torn about between Edward and Jacob
Breaking Dawn - The red one is the weakest kind which is how Bella start off, but she ends up being the Queen (The strongest) Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi,
My favorite books ever!!
I only know breaking dawn though sorry!.
The chess set represents that the battle near the end does not turn out to be a blood thirsty battle, It is a battle of the minds!.

I hope this helps :)
