2. WARNING!
If you have not read/watched the previous
books before this one, then I apologize,
it's giving away spoilers for you.
3. Plot
It has an intense beginning of the city of Seattle being taken over by
murders, which Edward suspects are newborn vampires that are
not able to control their thirst. Alice Cullen has a vision that
Victoria, a vampire who has been hunting Bella since Twilight, is
back. Out of no where in a sudden way, Edward proposes to Bella
who says yes of course. Bella and the Cullens realize that
Edward's thoughts on the murderers being the newborns were
right, being controlled by either Victoria or the coven of vampires
known as the Volturi. The Cullen family joins forces with the
werewolf pack in order to have a successful win. After going into
the mountains, Jacob overhears Edward & Bella talking about
being engaged, and Jacob becomes enraged. He threatens to get
himself killed in the fight because Bella doesn't love him. To stop
him, Bella kisses Jacob. After kissing him, she realizes she has
love for him also. Victoria tracks Edward's scent to Bella and
Edward cannot help but fight, despite Bella and her wishes to
keep him safe. Once Victoria and her army are destroyed, Bella
explains to Jacob that even thought she loves him, her love for
Edward shines brighter. Later on, Jacob receives a wedding
invite that angers him enough to run away.
4. Theme
From what I see in this book, the theme of it all is
Love. All of the things that happened during the
book somehow lead up to a love. In the beginning,
Riley and Victoria form a “love” for each other,
but it ends up being unreal. Also, the feelings
Bella develops for Jacob throughout the story
come into play. Though as it's been said, her love
will never shine brighter for anyone else, other
than Edward Cullen.
5. Conflict
Throughout the entire book, many conflicts arise.
Conflicts such as the Volturi getting involved with
Bella not being a vampire yet, and the murderous
newborns.
The biggest conflict that sticks out the most, is if
Edward and Jacob are capable of working
together. It comes off as the two cannot stand
each other, but they appreciate each others hard
work for Bella.
6. Character Analysis:
Bella Swan
Bella Swan is very much all over the place in this
book. She's in denial about a lot, all of it mostly
coming from her true inner feelings. She's got this
crazy need to become a vampire, but is forced to
wait a while. Not only that, but she puts Jacob on
the wrong path. Bella becomes selfish to her own
needs, and not anyone else.
7. Character Analysis:
Edward Cullen
Edward Cullen plays one interesting man in this
book. The way he can manipulate people is crazy
intense. A lot of the ways he works comes off as a
smart, but in all reality it's cold... literally.
[Vampire Jokes] There are times where Edward
also plays the kind, trusting guy towards Jacob;
then something happens like a kiss and it throws
him off guard in the head.
8. Character Analysis:
Jacob Black
Jacob Black is one thing and one thing only in this
book, and it's a fighter. Throughout the whole
book, he shows his complete focus to keep Bella
alive and in his life. He's willing to do anything to
keep her around. The Vampires aren't a clan to
ignore, any Werewolf could easily be killed by
one. Jacob takes huge risks for Bella, the one he
loves.
