The cover of Breaking Dawn came out not too long ago.



I have some theories, but I would Liebe to hear your own.

Theory:

There is a white Queen piece and a red pawn piece. If the red piece were to Bewegen on Weltraum vorwärts-, nach vorn (presumably to the right), then the Queen would take that pawn. There are no other pieces on the board.

The white Queen could represent purity. White is also the color that goes first in the game of chess.

The pawn is red, maybe representing the evil enemy. But the pawn has no real threat over the queen. The pawn in this could make the choice to Bewegen vorwärts-, nach vorn to become a queen, but be taken Von the Queen if it moves once, oder it could just stay there while the other pieces play. I suppose that there are other pieces on the board that Du cannot see. At least, both should have a king.

The Queen has many chances to take the pawn. The best option if the Queen has the first go from this position is to Bewegen three spaces to the right (white spot). Then the Weiter Bewegen (if any) that the pawn takes, will not save the pawn. The pawn is certainly going to death.

From this:

Bella and the coven could represent the good side. They have the chance to win over the evil, no matter what.

Or

The Queen represents the Volturi oder other evil in the Bella's world. No matter what Bewegen Bella makes, she cannot avoid the inevitable. She is vulnerable to be taken Von the queen.

Also, the pawn cannot go backwards. The pawn cannot take back it's moves. It also cannot go diagonally except when there is an opposing piece in that spot. The pawn can jump 2 spots vorwärts-, nach vorn at the first move, but after that it can only jump 1 spot forward.

However, the Queen can go diagonally/forward/backward however many spaces. She is considered the strongest piece on the board. The Queen has no chance of progression though. The Queen is the highest rank.

The pawn can choose to be a knight, rook, bishop, oder queen. If the Queen lets the pawn live, then the pawn will have the chance of becoming more. Then the pawn can be equal to the queen. The pawn will have a better chance of overtaking the Queen if he chose to become a knight.

Even then, Du have a Queen for a queen. Not the best move. A knight would be wise to be come. They can attack places that the Queen cannot attack.

The fact that the pawn could become different ranks might represent the choices that Bella has. Edward could represent the Queen. He makes the choice of if he wants to take the weak pawn that has the chance to become more.



Make what Du want about this. I'll be interested in what other people have to add.

But who knows? It could be like when New Moon came out and the cover had no significance to the story. Maybe "Breaking Dawn" is different?
