Meyer says that each of the books in the Twilight series has paid tribute to a favorite literary work:
Twilight - Pride and Prejudice
New Moon - Romeo and Juliet
Eclipse - Wuthering Heights
Breaking Dawn - A Midsummer Night's Dream AND something else Meyer won't identify
Hmm, given the cover art of Breaking Dawn, which features a chessboard, I'm going to guess Through the Looking-Glass, Lewis Carroll's follow-up to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
In this book, Alice finds herself in a world that is laid out like a giant chessboard. She begins as a pawn, but if she can make it to the final square without being captured, she will become a queen.
Anybody want to suggest how this might apply to Bella?
