in the book twilight?

Question

why does she call it Twilight and the other books, does anyone know why?

i absolutely love the book(s) and i think it should be like a movie, that would be the best movie of all time!!!! lol

Answer 1

in the book it talks about twilight being the best time of day for bella and edward to be toghther. obviously her titles are just following a celestial theme. no real reason i'm sure.

no, i don't think it would be the best movie ever because they will totally screw up the storyline and the characters and make it into some teenybopper film. rarely are any movies as good as the book they are trying to be.

Answer 2

i love the books too!

the word twilight is said once in the book. but she calls it twilight because her origional title, "Forks," needed to go. both stephanie and her editor hated the title. so they came up with a list of possible titles, and twilight was the one that just poped up.

here is the text on her website:

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.)

Answer 3

It was not her first choice, her first choice was Forks, but her publisher had her change it. She still isn't crazy about it being called Twilight, because it's not like twilight plays into the storyline. Her next books though have titles that relate to the stories though.

p.s, i love the book too. :p you need to read the sequel if you havent already. the 3rd should be coming out this fall.

Answer 4

Actually Stephanie Meyer didnt name it Twilight - she named it Forks. The title was changed by the publisher. Pax - C

Answer 5

as you have read in your other answers she named it Forks first , but it was then changed, as for the sequel, New Moon, it is becuase it is the darkest period of bellas life, adn when there is a new moon in the sky it is the darkest of nights. also new moon kinda matches twilight, so that might have had something to do with that.i always notice when i read them they say twilight, new moon, adn eclipse in them someti=mes. cant wait for Eclipse!!! go to the website and read the first chapter of Midnight Sun, Twilight in Edwards point of view, its awesome. hope i helped, bye
