Choice

Stephenie Meyer says that the concept of 'choice' is an important one to her. How does the book illustrate that concept?

Bella chooses at the beginning to fall for Edward rather than stay away from him like he warns. The Cullens choose to not be monsters like the other vampires.

The power of choice is a big one! In this book it is shown as overcoming a powerful urge that hurts humans and to develop self-control, in spite of the difficulty, to not indulge in the now-inherited obsession.
