The meaning behind the Breaking Dawn cover:

What I think it means:

1.the red (red representing warmth and blood) pawn in the background is Bella as a human. And the White (white representing cold and strength) elegant Queen is Bella changed into a vampire. that’s what i think it means.
2.I think it represents Bella’s strong love for Edward as the queen but she still has the small part of her that wants Jacob as a friend, although he’s stubborn.
3.I think the red pawn symbolizes an enemy of course, an enemy of Bella’s and the Cullen’s possibly, but I also think it’s someone we don’t know about yet. Either that, or it’s some *thing* that is threatening her. The pawn is behind the queen on the cover, so it may be something that is at the back of her mind, or something that is approaching that she is unprepared for or doesn’t see coming.
4.The white queen represents Bella, and the red pawn is Edward. In a game, the pawns protects the queen, even sacrifice themselves in the process. Simple as pie, if you think about for a minute!!!! Hello, the process of a chess game
5.hm … notice how the white queen is sitting on the black square and the red pawn is sitting on the white one? maybe its symbolising the fact that bella turning into a vampire (thus the white) has made the wrong decision? or maybe thats just what the red dude (mortals) think she did? or mayeb the red thing behind her is her overcoming the thirst?
6.i think it could be either:the red pawn is human bella, warm and meekand the white queen is vampire bella, pale, cold, and dominant
or:the red pawn is jacob, warm and threatening in the background, waiting for the moment to strikeand the white queen is just bella in general and her life as is
7.The red pawn in the background represents bella, BEFORE the transformation, its red cuz she is still alive with blood and all that. also, she’s a pawn because it is the weakest player on the board– just like her among the cullens, hales and volturi. The WHITE queen represents bella after she is a vampire, she is strong and white like marble. traditionally, chess pieces are marble and ebony, so marble holds true to stephanie’s description of the vampires. She is a queen, the strongest piece on the board, because she is a young vampire, so she is the strongest at this point. The reason the pawn is still in the background is because she still clings to the part of her that she left behind to become a vampire; her undying love and passion of nothing but edward, her love for Jacob and of course the love she felt for her other friends and family. (not that she doesnt love them anymore, but thier blood has become more enticing than thier presence)
8.I think the white queen represents Edward and the red is Jacob. here is my theory, the white is up front so it is therefore the dominant piece and it is also a higher ranking piece, while the red is just a simple pawn and in the background, so i think its how Edward became the dominant piece of the puzzle in bella’s life.
