Appreciation of Twilight Works

Twilight is a multi-cultural magic masterpiece. In addition to Christianity, non-mainstream pagan civilizations, various folk beliefs, myths and legends all shine in the works. However, the work is also full of confrontation of various contradictory forces, which also enhances the appeal of the story: the love between man and vampire, the competition between vampire and werewolf, and the competition between vampire families. These confrontations were finally resolved by Bella, a human girl, and moved towards harmony. This also reflects the author's point of view: abandoning anthropocentrism and calling on multi-source cultural species to respect each other and integrate into the natural system. Through the symbolic meanings of different races, such as vampire, werewolf and human girl Bella, she showed her ecological holism thought.

Twilight is the emergence of vampire culture, and the human world has been invaded by people of different civilizations. Because twilight refers to the moment when the dark forces are activated at dusk and sunset. The tragic love between human girl Bella and vampire Edward is the main line of the story. This forbidden story of pure love, like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, has both sweetness and bitterness and is full of contradictions. On the one hand, Bella does not hesitate to love Edward. On the other hand, as a human being, she is full of fear of blood clan. And Edward's love for Bella is full of contradictions. Bella is the soul mate he longed for for for a century, but the vampire's nature and thirst for blood prevented him from approaching. He loves Bella, and his desire to protect her is as strong as his desire to suck her blood. Edward once said to Bella, "For me, it is the most selfish behavior I can think of to make you like me just to stop losing you." The metaphor of "the lion falls in love with the lamb" vividly analyzes the passionate and contradictory, forbearing and affectionate love between them.

If Bella's weakness and helplessness symbolize the weak creatures in nature, Edward's bloodthirsty nature reflects his original desire for plunder. According to ecologists, Edward's thirst for human blood is itself the expansion of his own desire and the plunder of other species. The blood clan's primitive desire for blood is like human greed and infinite desire, which contradicts the limited supply of nature. The clan family of vampires is manipulated by their own desires and presents a ferocious face. Although the Cullens no longer eat human blood, they still seem to lose control in the face of strong temptation. Isn't this the reappearance of human crazy desire in the erotic era?

From a deeper perspective, the relationship between different races in the works moves from opposition to harmony, which is the embodiment of natural holism. Any race should abandon egoism, because "nature is a unified organism." Nature is a tight large-scale system, and there is a close and inseparable relationship between various organisms and the whole ecosystem. Destroying this relationship will inevitably lead to the overall disorder. Only by restraining desires, treating responsibilities rationally and treating other creatures equally can human beings solve their own ecological crisis. Bella is the representative of nature in the works, while werewolves, vampires and humans are the representatives of different races in nature. Only when each race abandons prejudice and desire and can treat its responsibilities rationally can it form a powerful alliance front and ultimately safeguard the stability and harmony of nature. The title and cover include Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Dawn and Midnight Sunshine, which are named after the profit and loss of Sun Moon Guanghua, and perfectly fit the ups and downs of the protagonist's fate and complex emotional stories: from Twilight, which meets day and night, to the heartbreak of the new moon and the trauma of the eclipse. The long and pale hands on the cover represent Edward holding a mouth-watering red apple like Bella. Apple, on the other hand, represents the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve in Genesis, the first volume of the Old Testament, which means that the love between the hero and heroine is of course taboo.

Twilight, English nouns are interpreted as dusk, dawn, dusk, recession, recession and later period; Adjectives are fantastic, mysterious, illusory, hazy, vague and unclear. With the help of its meaning, we can have a preliminary impression of this word, which is dusk, decline and mystery. The first element of Twilight is the vampire theme. According to relevant research, in the history of human development, the understanding of vampires can even be traced back to the beginning of human birth. Vampire is a traditional theme of western literature, which has far-reaching influence in the field of novel creation, the most famous of which is braam stock's Dracula. In the civilized world of Christianity, vampires belong to the pagan type. It was described as dirty, barbaric and cruel. It will never die, but it has no life and no soul. It is the master of the dark world, the killer, and the object abandoned by God forever. The word "Twilight" obviously contains such a meaning. Even though Mel's image of the Cullens is creative and subversive, they are even more kind and compassionate than human beings, Twilight is still deliberately stating the theme of vampires. Because at dusk and sunset, when the dark forces are activated, vampires who have been hidden all day begin to resurrect. From the whole process of life, Twilight is a sign of the decline of all things, but at this moment it is a world where pagan forces prevail. It goes without saying that Twilight is promoting the emergence of vampires, and different civilizations will play new concertos.

New Moon, the original meaning of which is a kind of moon phase, appeared on the first day of the lunar calendar in China. At this moment, people standing on the earth can hardly see the moon. The second part focuses on Jacob's official appearance, and Jacob realizes the physical transformation and becomes a powerful werewolf on the reservation. Legends about werewolves and vampires came into being at the same time. As two major images in the heterogeneous world, literature and film and television works with related themes are common. In some ancient cultures, people think that werewolves and vampires belong to the same family and are as cruel as vampires. There is also a tradition that werewolves and vampires are natural enemies, such as the movie Legend of the Night, and they have long competed for the leadership of the dark world. In Twilight, Mel's werewolf image is also the embodiment of kindness and justice. They exist because of vampires and fight to protect mankind from them. In some literary works, werewolves usually appear in human form, but at the full moon, they become uncontrollable and extremely cruel, such as Lu Bang in Harry Potter. But this book is not like this. At the new moon, in the same dark time and space, Edward leaves gently, deliberately giving Jacob the werewolf enough room to grow up.

Eclipses are special astronomical phenomena. The main content of Eclipse is that Bella's feelings wander between Edward and Jacob. In order to face the persecution of foreign vampires, vampires who are enemies of natural enemies form an alliance with werewolves. Vampires have cold bodies, while werewolves have hot bodies. The two can be figuratively compared to the opposition between ice and fire. Jacob symbolizes the sun, representing light and heat; Edward is a metaphor of the moon, occupying darkness and cold; In contrast, Bella is a weak and helpless human being and a life on earth. In the face of emotional choice and life-and-death contest, the sun, the earth and the moon stand side by side, which is an eclipse.

Dawn symbolizes the turnover of life, means the thawing and rebirth of contradictions, and indicates a bright future. Bella passed the test of life and death, experienced the baptism of blood, and became a vampire when she gave birth to a half-man, half-vampire daughter. The power of vampire "rebirth" will be enormous. In addition, Bella's unique ability to bind the sky makes her innate reason and "defense shield" extremely powerful, and finally repells the law enforcers in the vampire world, making werewolves and vampires become eternal allies. Dawn is an agreement on the concept of time and a messenger of light. Combined with the ending of the story, the author wants to express a harmonious force. Two worlds and two civilizations have finally merged and yearned for the eternity of ideals.

Complementing the title is the unique cover design of Twilight series, which well conveys the profound meaning of each book. Lin Meizhen Meyer pointed out that the apple on the cover of Twilight represents the forbidden fruit on the tree of good and evil in Genesis. It symbolizes the forbidden love between humans and vampires between Bella and Edward. At the beginning of the book, Genesis 2# 17 (Chapter II, Article 17) is quoted: "You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for the day you eat it, you will die." This also represents how Bella distinguishes between good and evil-whether to eat the forbidden fruit or not, which is a metaphor for choosing to stay with Edward or stay away from him. Lin Meizhen Meyer studied English literature, and his literary works were deeply influenced by English literature. In Stephenie Meyer's literary works, the artistic features of English romanticism are the most obvious and prominent. In the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer inherited the love of nature and the mystery of Gothic romanticism from the English romantic writer Lake. In his works, he fully demonstrated the exquisite description of characters, the fresh and beautiful literary language, the cadence of the novel plot and the strong emotional expression in modern English romantic literature.

For example, in the Twilight series Twilight: Twilight, the author Stephenie Meyer sets the location of the story as a remote and rainy town all year round, where the hero and heroine meet and start their emotional entanglements. In the early stage of the development of English romantic literature, the poet "lake poets" fully displayed the beauty of rural life and exotic scenery in his literary works, and Stephenie Meyer borrowed from the romantic poet "lake poets" to eulogize the natural scenery, and added mystery to the meeting of the hero and heroine through the setting of the story location. However, the most noteworthy thing about Stephenie Meyer's use of English-style romantic literature in Twilight series novels is that she absorbed the characterization and strong emotional expression in modern English romantic literature, which is very similar to the writing style and style of Jane Austen, a famous British female writer. In the novel Twilight, Stephenie Meyer didn't endow Bella with noble blood and prominent princess status, but set Bella as an ordinary high school girl. The author thinks that Bella is the ideal hero in a love story, because like many girls, she is ordinary, ordinary but lovely. Because of this, many female readers found their own shadow in Bella, and the Twilight series novels caused a strong buzz in the hearts of more readers.

Twilight has a preface in front of every movie, and the preface is Bella's dream. The author's exposition is to take care of the plot, and its connotation reflects the climax and wonderful point of the struggle in the following article. However, this design is of course not only to insert a suspense, but also to set off an artistic realm in which fantasy and reality are intertwined and the virtual and the real are perfectly combined. The writer intentionally blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy, because in the paradise of art, whether it is true or not is not a compulsory question.

The book also wrote about Bella's nightmares many times, when she found out that Edward was a vampire, when Edward abandoned her, when her feelings became helpless, and so on. How many times she woke up screaming from a dream, and how many times she couldn't even tell whether she was in reality or in a dream. The author skillfully set up the dream and made a subtle analysis. With the development of the story and the advancement of emotion, dreams have become a unique hint of this book.

Lin Meizhen Meyer believes that great love should be like the little mermaid, for the beloved prince, regardless of all practical issues such as race and outcome. In the face of true love, nothing can stop it. So Bella and vampire Edward fell in love in the novel. At the same time, Stephenie Meyer defined the Twilight novels as "youth novels", and Stephenie Meyer believed that people had the best things when they were eighteen or nineteen years old. They were young and adult-minded, and they would meet their own love, and they were willing to pay everything for it without hesitation. Only such feelings are the purest and most sacred. In the Twilight series of novels, Bella and Edward's feelings are inseparable, full of temptations and challenges, but they have strengthened their love. As a vampire, Edward is willing to fight fiercely with other vampire and werewolf families for Bella, and Bella is even willing to give up her life for Edward and meet death. In twilight novels, love is pure and happiness is simple and warm. Of course, this pure love is very fragile, and happiness makes people walk on thin ice. The pressures, temptations and challenges from the race and the real society are all testing the two people who love each other. Finally, after a long night, endless love came to an end in Stephenie Meyer's works, and where will you go, gratitude and resentment also came to an end in Twilight: Dawn.
