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

  Before becoming a vampire, Rosalie Hale was a wealthy young woman in 1933 Rochester, New York who was beaten and assaulted by her fiancé Royce King II and his friends and left for dead; Carlisle Cullen found her and turned her to save her life.

• Why does Edward react so strongly to Bella's scent in biology class?▾

  Edward's extreme reaction is explained through the vampire concept of a 'singer' — a human whose blood smells overwhelmingly appealing to a specific vampire. Bella's blood calls to Edward more powerfully than any human he has ever encountered, making her both irresistible and dangerous to him. He grips the desk and holds his breath to prevent himself from attacking her in the middle of class, and even considers killing every witness in the room to get to her.

• How does Edward save Bella from Tyler's van in the parking lot, and why is it significant?▾

  Edward crosses the parking lot in a fraction of a second and stops the skidding van with his bare hand, leaving a large dent in the metal, to protect Bella. The act is significant because it is the first time Bella witnesses his superhuman speed and strength, and it is something physically impossible for a normal person to do. Edward initially tries to deny what happened, but the dent in the van and the absence of any logical explanation force Bella to start questioning what he really is.

• Why do the Cullens play baseball during a thunderstorm?▾

  The Cullen family only plays baseball during thunderstorms because their superhuman strength sends the ball cracking with enough force that the sound would alarm nearby humans — the thunder masks the noise. It is presented as one of the few ways the family can engage in a normal recreational activity together without exposing themselves. The baseball game is also the moment James, Victoria, and Laurent stumble upon the Cullens and James first catches Bella's scent, setting off the film's climax.

• What is James's motivation for hunting Bella, and why won't he simply let the Cullens protect her?▾

  James is a tracker vampire whose sole drive is the thrill of a challenging hunt — he describes it as a gift and a compulsion he has never denied. When the Cullens form a protective circle around Bella, it turns her into a target worth pursuing rather than deterring him. His motivation shifts from mere hunger to sport: he wants to defeat the Cullen coven by taking the one thing they are trying to protect, treating the whole situation as a game he intends to win.

• Why doesn't Edward simply turn Bella into a vampire at the end of the film when she asks?▾

  Edward refuses because he sees immortality as a curse rather than a gift, and he does not want to condemn Bella to the same existence — cut off from a normal human life, from aging, and from the things she has not yet experienced. He also fears that the transformation process could go wrong, since it requires a vampire to bite and then stop before draining the victim completely, a point of extreme self-control. The refusal sets up the central tension carried across the entire saga: Bella's desire to become a vampire versus Edward's reluctance to make that choice for her.
