Stephenie Meyer interview

Hey, check out this video of Stephenie Meyer talking about Breaking Dawn and the Twilight saga at Barnes and Noble's website.

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?
