| Abstract: | This study is a content analysis of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga and a guide to Mormon Literacy. It examines the three current novels in the Saga and analyzes them in respect to central tenets of the Mormon faith. As a result of this study, the limitations of Meyer’s religion as seen through her writing are thoroughly explored, revealing the unique boundaries through which her beliefs force her to work. By abstaining from explicitly mentioning aspects of Mormon doctrine, Meyer nevertheless creates imaginative characters and scenarios, though the resulting texts still carry an undeniable and inescapable air of Latter-day Saint values. |
