Yeah, it looks so awesome! Im just trying to figure out what it means.. Because with the other 3 books, the front covers all had them designed that way for a reason.. [from imdb, and other websites] The Apple Cover (Twilight) : Temptation, the forbidden fruit, being that it looks very over red, its held in white hands hinting at the the vampires also, possibly saying that the forbidden fruit is Edward, the vampire.
The Ruffled Tulip Cover (New Moon) : Stephenie said she had no say in this one, but its a known weeping tulip because theres a petal falling from it, this matches Bellas emotions during the book, like the flower was wilting away as she was without Edward.
The Broken Ribbon Cover (Eclipse) : Stephenie stated that "The ribbon for me is about the idea of you're trying to break away from your old life. And it's never a clean cut. There's always some of those threads that are so hard to break and for me that's Bella thinking that she can just walk away from her human life and it's really not that simple." Im just wondering why its a queen and a pawn on there?  Ah well, in 5 weeks everyone will know  |

I like the descriptions of the book covers and i see them but i think that they represent the characters too.
I think that the apple represents Edward for the same reason you said, him being like the forbidden fruit.
The weeping tulip is bella because she feels like she's dying without Edward
I think that i see the Ribbon as Jacob because he's being torn apart - part of him tells him to forget about Bella because she's with Edward but the other part cant, he wants her so much!

Yeah thats really true! I like how you see them! I never thought of it that way with eclipse being Jacob ;D I always saw it as Bella, because its split in half- and thats what she was between Edward and Jacob, and she had to choose a side basically, but the ribbons still attached like the werewolves and vampires how they end up connected, so it seems like she still can have both, just not completely But thats a good way, the way you've seen it! I guess its for everyone to make their own interpretations! ;D |
