Frequently asked about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• Who betrayed the Cullens?▾

  No one betrays the Cullens in Breaking Dawn - Part 1. The conflict in this film stems from Bella's unexpected pregnancy and the Quileute wolf pack's decision to attack the family, which Jacob refuses to support before breaking away to form his own pack.

• What happened to Rosalie before she became a vampire?▾

  Rosalie's backstory is not depicted in Breaking Dawn - Part 1. In the broader Twilight saga, she was beaten and left for dead by her fiance Royce King II and his friends in 1933 Rochester before Carlisle Cullen found her and turned her into a vampire to save her life.

• Who is Renesmee's true love?▾

  Renesmee's true love is Jacob Black, who imprints on her moments after she is born at the end of Breaking Dawn - Part 1. The imprint bonds him to her for life, initially as a protector and later as a romantic partner once she matures.

• What kind of car does Rosalie drive?▾

  Rosalie's signature car in the Twilight films is a red BMW M3 convertible. It is not given prominent screen time in Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

• How is Bella able to conceive a child with Edward if he is a vampire?▾

  The Twilight mythology treats Edward's body as frozen in the state it was when he was turned, including the preservation of venom in place of normal fluids. Stephenie Meyer's lore posits that male vampires retain the biological ability to father children because their bodies are unchanging rather than dead in the traditional sense. Renesmee is the result of this unique hybrid conception, something previously thought impossible in the vampire world.

• Why does Bella's pregnancy progress so rapidly and violently?▾

  Renesmee is a human-vampire hybrid whose growth rate far exceeds that of a normal human fetus. The developing baby is part vampire, and her strength and accelerated development cause her to physically break Bella's ribs and spine from inside the womb. The fetus also feeds on Bella's blood, which is why Bella begins drinking blood to sustain herself and the child during the pregnancy.

• Why does Jacob imprint on Renesmee immediately after she is born?▾

  Imprinting in Twilight lore is an involuntary, instinctive bond that werewolves form with their destined mate or charge — it is not a choice and is described as seeing the one person you are meant to be with above all others. Jacob imprints on Renesmee the moment he sees her, which shifts his role from potential romantic rival to Bella to an unconditional protector of her daughter. This imprint also triggers the wolf pack law that forbids any wolf from harming the person a pack member has imprinted on, effectively ending the wolves' threat to Renesmee.

• What kills Bella during childbirth and how is she resurrected?▾

  The traumatic delivery of Renesmee — including an improvised C-section performed by Edward — causes catastrophic internal injuries and cardiac arrest, bringing Bella to the point of death. Edward injects his venom directly into her heart and bites her in multiple places to initiate the transformation into a vampire, which is the only way to save her. The film ends with Bella completing the transformation, her wounds healing and her eyes opening to reveal the crimson irises of a newborn vampire.

• Why do the Quileute wolves want to kill Renesmee before she is even born?▾

  Sam Uley's wolf pack views the unborn hybrid as an unnatural and unprecedented threat, fearing that a creature of unknown power could endanger both humans and their tribe. Their law requires them to protect humans from vampires, and they classify the half-vampire fetus as a danger by default. Jacob breaks from Sam's pack specifically because he refuses to allow an attack on Bella and the child, forming a splinter group with Seth and Leah to protect the Cullens during the pregnancy.
