[1]I just read a fascinating article in Touchstone [1] magazine about the meaning of the Twilight vampire series. In his article “Mormon Vampires in the Garden of Eden [1],” John Granger argues that the Twilight story is actually a metaphor for Mormonism.
“Twilight is essentially an allegory of one gentile seeker’s coming to the fullness of Latter-day Saint faith and life.”
If this sounds far-fetched to you, then you need to read the article. Granger bears out his thesis by connecting the events and characters of the Twilight books to the history and theology of Mormonism. Given that author Stephenie Meyer is an observant Mormon, Granger makes an interesting case. The reader will have to be the judge of how compelling the case is. You can read it here [1].
