Pride and Prejudice influenced The Twilight Saga

Stephenie Meyer has said each book of the saga was built on a classic, and Twilight on Pride and Prejudice.

• A first meeting that goes badly, with Edward's apparent disgust in the biology class playing the part of Darcy's pride at the assembly
• A heroine who misreads the hero's reserve and is corrected by what she learns about him
• The courtship as a sequence of misunderstandings rather than obstacles

Filed MEDIUM: it shapes the first book of four.
