Breaking Dawn - Bella Swan's Life as a Vampire

Robert Pattinson will do the Fourth Twilight, Breaking Dawn! Pattinson confirmed in Cannes that he will return to the Twilight series via Breaking Dawn.

Breaking Dawn is the fourth and final book in the #1 best-selling Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. It is the last novel of the Twilight saga to be told from Bella Swan’s perspective. Breaking Dawn is divided into three books, the first and third books are told from the perspective of Bella Swan, and the second is told from that of Jacob Black.

Breaking Dawn, tells the story of Bella’s life as a vampire. It is a symbol for Bella’s evolution throughout the entire saga; from being the weakest to becoming the strongest. The plays The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night’s Dream both influenced Breaking Dawn. Originally, Meyer wrote a book titled Forever Dawn, which was a direct sequel to Twilight.

While the basic storyline remained the same, Forever Dawn was narrated completely from Bella’s point of view, the werewolves and Jacob were “only sketchily developed”, Victoria and Laurent were both alive, and there was an epilogue. Meyer goes on to say that she “may post some extras someday if I ever have time to go back through the Forever Dawn manuscript—it’s just as long as Breaking Dawn. There are a couple of things that family members told me they particularly missed, so I would start there.”

In regard to Renesmee’s unique name, Meyer wrote that she, “couldn’t call her Jennifer or Ashley. What do you name the most unique baby in the world? I looked through a lot of baby name websites. Eventually I realized that there was no human name that was going to work for me, so I surrendered to necessity and made up my own.” Meyer decided on including the pregnancy in her story while she was researching vampires and came across the legend of the incubus, a demon who could father children.

Meyer states in regard to ending the series that:

“The Twilight Saga is really Bella’s story, and this was the natural place for her story to wind up. She overcame the major obstacles in her path and fought her way to the place she wanted to be. I suppose I could try to prolong her story unnaturally, but it wouldn’t be interesting enough to keep me writing. Stories need conflict, and the conflicts that are Bella-centric are resolved.”
