Breaking Dawn Sparknotes

Since the earliest times, humans have needed to be sensitive to their surroundings to survive, which means that we have an innate awareness of our environment and seek out environments with certain qualities (Kreitzer). In Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer, Bella and Edward are married and spent their honeymoon on Isle Esme, an island owned by Esme Cullen. During their honeymoon Bella got pregnant, but Edward thinks it will risk Bella’s life. After hearing Bella’s pregnancy, the Alpha of the wolf pack decided to kill Bella, but Jacob refused the order and ditched the tribe. Because the fetus dislikes the nutrition from human food, Bella has to drink human blood for the nutrition. Throughout this novel, the important objects that relate to the characters are Isle Esme, the fetus, and the human blood.
At the beginning of the book, Isle Esme is one of the important objects that is related to the overall plot.
After Bella and Edward’s wedding, Edward decided to bring Bella to Isle Esme Island for their honeymoon: “‘Isle Esme?’ My voice was low, but it still sounded too loud as it broke into the quiet night. ‘A gift from Carlisle—Esme offered to let us borrow it’” (Meyer 78). It is important because they felt more connected to each other on the island. They can be reposed from the trouble that is created by the unusual world they live in. However, they experienced a special time together because they are surrounded by other vampires, werewolves, and humans, but on the island, they only have each other to rely on. Without anyone else bothering them, they will deeply embroil into their unfeigned love. Secondly, Bella got pregnant on the beautiful-looking island ☺ (Hyphenated Modifiers). It is an important plot of the story because the baby will create more events or problems for the book; therefore, the characters in the book will have to find solutions to the problems. Overall, Isle Esme is one of the most important pieces of the book Breaking
Dawn. Secondarily, the fetus is related to the overall plot and actions of the characters. When Jacob talked to Bella about giving up on the fetus because it will risk Bella’s life, Bella replied: “‘I’m not going to die,’…‘I will keep my heart beating. I’m strong enough for that’” (Meyer 190). This evidence shows the fetus is a virulent monster ☺ (Metaphors) and created many issues on Bella’s human body. Therefore, Jacob wants Bella to give up, but Bella has strong resistance to give up the fetus. She thinks that the fetus is an important connection between Edward and her, so she will never give up on the baby. However, it may foreshadows the unborn baby might be a meaningful part in Cullens’ future life. The baby might cause trouble for the Cullens because the Volturi have killed a vampire for her creation of a child vampire. Therefore, the Cullens had to protect and hide the fetus from the Volturi, and it created more circumstances for the Cullens and the werewolves to solve. The events would lift up reader’s excitement for the book, and that is why the writer includes the fetus in the novel. Apparently, the unborn baby will affect the overall plot and the actions of the characters in the novel. Finally, the human blood is a turning point for Bella’s body, and it is an important object for the plot. When the Cullens assume the human blood might help Bella, she said: “‘I’ve got to drink it,’ she whispered…‘I can do that. Practice for the future, right?’” (Meyer 242). It is important because the fetus is damaging Bella’s body, and the Cullens only have one possible solution for it. The fetus does not consume the nutrition from original foods, so the human blood helped Bella from dying. Moreover, the human blood might foreshadows that Bella might be thirsty for human blood like the other newborn vampires ☺ (Simile) in the future. Because Bella’s friends are mostly human, it would be an important foreshadow for the readers to be considered. Apparently, the human blood is one of the turning points for the overall plot of the novel. Ultimately, Isle Esme, the fetus, and the human blood are the influential objects throughout the novel. Although the Edward dislikes Bella’s pregnancy, Bella does not want to give up. Even though the only solution to the current problem is the human blood, Bella is brave enough to try it. Definitely, the Cullens and the Jacob would use their full power to save Bella and the unborn baby from the Volturi.
