Bedeutung der deutschen Titel

Sie sind davon ausgegangen, dass die Reihe 3 Teile bekommt und haben eben mit Morgengrauen angefangen, dann mit der Mittagsstunde, dann erfuhren sie dass es noch 2 Teile geben werde und entschieden sich für Abendrot und Ende der Nacht.

Das finde ich interessant. Trotzdem kann man soviel hineininterpretieren... Ich würde das nämlich ähnlich wie Lunanie deuten. Allerdings finde ich die englischen Titel auch um einiges besser, wobei dieses Bis(s)-Wortspiel auch so seine Reize hat.

Why did you pick the title Twilight?

Twilight was not the easiest book to title. When I started sending out queries, I called it Forks for lack of a better idea. The first thing my agent advised me was that the title was going to have to change. We played around with a lot of different titles, and nothing seemed to convey the right feel. We brainstormed through emails for about a week. The word twilight was on a list of "words with atmosphere" that I sent her. Though these words were meant to be used in combination with something else, the word twilight stood out to both of us. We decided to try it out, and, after a little adjustment time, it started to work for both of us. It isn't absolutely perfect; to be honest, I don't think there is a perfect title for this book (or if there is, I've never heard it). When I look at the titles other countries have used (examples: Germany: Bis zum Morgengrauen which is "Until Dawn" or "Bite" if you add an "s" to make it "biss" (if you look at the German book cover on the Twilight International page); Finland: "Temptation;" France: "Fascination;" and Japan, which has split it into three separate books: "The Boy Whom I Love is a Vampire," "Blood Tastes Sadness," and "The Vampire Family in the Darkness."), it seems like I might be right about that. (Both New Moon and Eclipse were much easier to title, and the titles also fit better.)

What does the title refer to? Is it a werewolf reference?

Nope. The term "new moon" refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.

What does the title mean?

The title Breaking Dawn is a reference to the beginning of Bella's vampire life.
