The inside look at the pomegranate as opposed to seeing the outside of the fruit can represent how we are getting an insider’s look into Edward’s thoughts and feelings. Hence, we have a very messy image here to represent how Edward feels about himself. He has always said he isn’t good and that he doesn’t want Bella to be like him. Moreover, Midnight Sun is Edward’s story, and he has never seen himself as pure or clean or worthy. Thus, it is considered the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. In fact, it is believed that the fruit on the tree that Adam and Eve ate from wasn’t an apple, but rather a pomegranate. In latin the word pomegranate means “apple with many seeds.” So, in a sense, we do get another apple. We don’t get an apple this time, but rather a pomegranate.

So now we come to Midnight Sun, which is a retelling of Twilight from Edward’s point of view. But the themes and basic plot are the same. Green is opposite red on the color spectrum, so it makes sense to swap the color here given that the character’s genders are all swapped. This time the apple is green instead of red. Now let’s look at Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined. All of these relate to Bella and her journey into the new world she travels with Edward. And when an apple is sliced in half, we get a smooth and almost white interior. Twilight has the classic iconic apple image. So to understand the Midnight Sun cover, we have to look at the other Twilight related book covers. They relate to the plot and theme of the book.They are random objects that have nothing to do with the titles – so no suns or moons.They are all combinations of red and white.The covers for the Twilight Saga books have a few things in common: Now that we’ve processed the fact that Midnight Sun is being published, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the cover and how it relates to the Twilight Saga.
