New Moon Flower Eclipse Ribbon Breaking Dawn Chess Pieces I really didn't get the covers and titles at all!. The only one that had the title in the book, was twilight!.!.!. but only once!. This is bothering me so much!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Twilight!. So Stephenie had a list of different names picked out for the book, and none of them made sense, or fit the book!. And out of her list the the Twilight stood out to both of them!. And for the cover, it's the "Forbidden Fruit!." And everything Edward and Bella have is forbidden!. Stephenie also said, "I loved the phrase 'the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil!.'"

Perhaps there was no moon tonight-- A lunar eclipse, a new moon!." Pg!. 74 That was after Edward left her and she fell!. When there's a new moon, it's not visible from earth!. It's the darkest kind of night!. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life!. A lot of the times the publishers get to choose your book cover and stuff like that!. So in this case, Stephenie didn't get to choose the cover to New Moon, so she doesn't know what it means either!. And all that was on her FAQ for New moon!. Which is the second link!. Eclipse!. She actually doesn't have the meaning of the title or the cover in her FAQ for Eclipse!. My interpertation is that her Eclipse is Edward and Jacob!.

I don't know if that make sense or not!. Haha!. But FAQs for Eclipse are the third link!. Breaking Dawn!. The title is in reference to the beginning of Bella's vampire life!. And Stephenie put it like this for the picture!. "Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga!. She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) 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!."
