When it comes to Eclipse knowledge, are you a newborn vampire? Or does your expertise rival that of the Volturi? Find out just how well you know the third book in the Twilight Saga with this quiz.
And if it doesn't satisfy your Twilight thirst, check out our previous tests of your knowledge: Twilight Quiz, Twilight Movie Quiz, and New Moon Quiz.
| 1. | What college does Bella apply to in Alaska, where there are "grizzlies galore"? |
 | A) University of Alaska Southeast
B) University of Alaska Fairbanks
C) University of Alaska Anchorage
D) Alaska Pacific University |
Answer: A) While all four of these schools exist, it's the University of Alaska Southeast with its main campus in Juneau that Bella selected. |
| 2. | In Chapter 9, Bella returns home from her "slumber party" with Alice to discover someone has been in her room. Who was it? |
 | A) Victoria
B) Demetri
C) Nettie
D) Riley |
Answer: D) We'll let Meyer answer this one herself: "It was Riley. He is not a totally wild newborn — he's past his first year and better able to keep his perspective. If he'd been as strong as the younger newborns in the clearing, Seth might not have won that fight. Also, Victoria prepared him very carefully for the foray. He was (to phrase it delicately) quite well fed before he went to Forks." |
| 3. | As fans well know, the book covers for the Twilight Saga are rife with symbolism. What does the broken red ribbon on the cover of Eclipse represent? |
 | A) Bella's breaking with her family
B) Bella's Edward vs. Jacob choice
C) Bella's breaking with her human life
D) Bella's choice to leave childhood behind |
Answer: C) While all of these ideas have been discussed by fans, Meyer is quoted as saying, "The ribbon for me is about the idea of your trying to break away from your old life. And it's never a clean cut. There's always some of those threads that are so hard to break and for me that's Bella thinking that she can just walk away from her human life and it's really not that simple." |
| 4. | Which of the following things did Stephenie Meyer NOT do before the release of Eclipse? |
 | A) Lock her MySpace comments
B) Post the first chapter of the book
C) Give a reading of the first chapter of the book
D) Post daily quotes from the book |
Answer: B) Meyer gave a reading of the first chapter at the Eclipse Prom(s) she hosted at Arizona State University, published daily quotes from the book on her website in the month leading up to the release, and locked her MySpace comments to prevent spoilers after Barnes & Noble accidentally shipped out some pre-orders of the book too early. While the first chapter of Eclipse appeared in a special New Moon edition published a few months before the third book's release, Meyer didn't post the chapter on her website until after the book was released. |
| 5. | Playing Maria, the vampire who finds Jasper and creates the newborn armies during the Southern Vampire Wars, is not Catalina Sandino Moreno's first fighting role. Which of these roles was? |
Answer: C) Moreno played Ernesto "Che" Guevara's second wife, Aleida March, who meets him while they are both members of Fidel Castro's revolutionary army. |
| 6. | According to Meyer, what is Jacob's biggest mistake, or "tragic flaw," in Eclipse? |
 | A) Hoping he'll win Bella's heart
B) Having the tendency to overreact
C) A lack of self-knowledge
D) He doesn't have one |
Answer: D) Again, we'll let Meyer answer this one herself: "Jacob doesn't have a tragic flaw. He has one goal and one hope. His goal is to save Bella's life. His hope is that he'll win her heart in the process. He fails at both. But that doesn't mean he regrets trying. If he could do it over again, he'd do the same thing." |
