please comment!! =D

very possible! i remember hearing something about stephenie saying that the red pawn signified jacob, though. if this is the case, i think that the white pawn is edward, and the chess board is bella's life. and i don't know much about chess, but seeing as "edward" would be bigger than "jacob" it hopefully means she will choose edward.

EDIT//
Oh my God, oh crap, oh crap. The white thing? That's a queen. The red thing is a pawn. If the pawn is Jacob, and the queen is Bella, what if "Bella" takes "Jacob"?
Oh my goodness. This cannot happen!
Sorry, It seems like I'm kind of disregarding your theory, which I'm not, because I really do love it. I hope that's what it means. :) I HOPE it's not one of the crazy things in my head, lol.

EDIT AGAIN//
What if "taking" Jacob means killing him? What if Bella becomes a vampire and kills Jacob?!
Wow, I'm crazy. But, it's a theory. xD

i REALLY like the theory. it has mental and physical significance! i like the part about the blood.. :P

thanx ay3!!! u act like uv heard it b4...lol wink..wink =P

okay, first of all *snort* she's not taking back Jacob. But I could believe that he's the red pawn is Jacob, pawns are usually sacrificed easily...
I don't really want to get into that.

okay waffle-woman-x3
the entire time i was reading your reply i keot saying "oh my gosh!"
what if your right?!?!
I dont want any of that to happen!
now im scared..

maybe.....i just want 2 stick w/ my theory cuz it makes me happy cuz its not about anyone dying or something like that, its just about bella and im ok with that!

This makes a lot of sense.. But I'm not so sure about it.. It's not a bad theory, but what the other people are saying is making sense too.. which is a scary thought, cuz the whole Jacob thing I def don't want to happen.. But I really hope that Bella turns into a vampire, and that Edward is the one to change her... So hopefully this cover does mean what u say, and she'll finally be one!! lol

I think you have a really great theory. It's really interesting. I guess we'll all just have to wait to see....sigh...

PS. I agree that I like your theory cuz nobody's dying!!!

IM SCARED. waffle-women-x3. u just gave me night mares. im scared. AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHH­HHH­HHH­!

This is a great theory. I hope that this is what it really means. I hope it has nothing to do with Edward and Jacob and either one being a pawn! Great thinking Starry Eyed!!

awww! i all of you have GREAT theories! but i'm not making one up because i just WANT TO READ BREAKING DAWN!!!! i cannot wait!

cool theory and waffle-woman-x3 has some good ideas for theories too but i think that it could possibly symbolise more than one thing so i like to think of as many theories as possible = )

I want to keep an open mind about what might happen, and this is really good theories.
I need the book now... :)

i know i know i know!!! this is just a theory i made up and i thought it sounded cool! i didn't mean 2 make any1 angry i was just kinda thinking out loud and i wanted 2 kno if people liked it! im not saying thats what the cover means, just what i THINK it could mean! thanx! oh and OF COURSE i absolutely can't wait 4 breaking dawn!!!! if u read some of my other forums, you can figure that out! lol =)

I like your theory a LOT more than some of the other I've heard :D All the others are so sad so I hope yours is right!

I love how complicated the symbolism of the Breaking Dawn cover is, given that it's a "simple" image.

Great call that the white piece is a Queen. Of course that makes me think automatically that it represents Bella.

The pawn, however, is less clear -- it could very easily be Jacob. But the red pawn almost seems more threatening than the queen due to its color. Honestly, when I first saw the cover image, I thought the Queen = Edward. After all, the Queen is the most powerful piece on the chess board whereas the King is practically the weakest.

Ho hum. I'm just looking forward to deconstructing the imagery once I've read Breaking Dawn.
