A look at Quileute Lore & Legends

Posted on 15. May, 2009 by in News

Deadbolt has an interesting and in-depth look at Native American history, the Quileute tribe, and of course, how it all breaks down within the Twilight saga.

In relation to Twilight and New Moon, Stephenie Meyer takes it one step further by explaining in great detail how Jacob and the rest of the werewolf clan actually transform from human to werewolf from the angle of inner turmoil and the experience of the transformation. In New Moon, the transformation of Jacob Black is filled with questions surrounding mental pain and how the change is also linked to self-control. What’s different about how the legend and lore play out in New Moon with regard to the actual transformation, as compared to other werewolf based stories and films, is that it goes well beyond the visual transformation to a intriguing human level of emotion.

Topics in the article include History and the Werewolf, The Vulnerable Warriors and Facts, Fiction, Legends and the Twilight Future.

    Thank you JulieAndJasper. I love the stories behind the story, and love the way Stephenie Meyer was able to weave parts of this legend into the Saga.
