I believe there are several reasons, some of which may have already been stated. A) Love. I think Meyer has a somewhat twisted idea about the difference between 爱情 and lust, especially in the "imprinting" that goes on. Imprinting is a compulsive, obsessive, infatuation that is completely unhealthy and seems to be portrayed as "true love" and being "meant for each other." Remember the Sam 爱情 triangle? 爱情 wouldn't do that, lust would. I don't know, maybe Meyer is under the impression that lust is a type of love? "First of all, let me say that I do believe in true love. But I also deeply believe in the complexity, variety, and downright insanity of love. A lucky person loves hundreds of people in their lives, all in different ways, family love, friendship love, romantic love, all in so many shades and depths. I don't think 你 lose your ability—or right—to have true 爱情 由 loving 更多 than one person. In part, this is true because 你 never 爱情 two people the same way. Another part is that, if you're lucky, 你 learn to 爱情 better with practice. The bottom line is that 你 have to choose who 你 are going to commit to—that's the foundation of true love, not a lack of other options." -- Stephenie Meyer From that, imprinting just sounds like complete, unhealthy lust which can occur over a prepubescent! 或者 does she think that "romantic love" is lust? Not only that, if she's confusing the two, it sends out an even worst message in her books. B) The ending to Breaking Dawn. "I'm not the kind of person who writes a Hamlet ending. If the fight had happened, it would have ended with 90% of the combatants, Cullen and Volturi alike, destroyed. There was simply no other outcome once the fight got started, 给 the abilities and numbers of the opposing sides. Because I would never finish Bella's story on such a downer—Everybody dies!—I knew that the real battle would be mental. It was a game of maneuvering, with the champion winning not 由 destroying the other side, but 由 being able to walk away. This was another reason I liked the chess metaphor on the cover—it really fit the feel of that final game. I put a clue into the manuscript as well. Alice tore a page from The Merchant of Venice because the end of Breaking Dawn was going to be somewhat similar: bloodshed appears inevitable, doom approaches, and then the power is reversed and the game is won 由 some clever verbal strategies; no blood is shed, and the romantic pairings all have a happily ever after." -- Stephenie Meyer Don't get me started, please~
