Breaking Dawn.... What was it based on?

Question

Hello, Anyway. I know that it was based on a Midsummer's night Dream, but didn't Stephenie Meyer say she based it on something else too? That she would reveal after the release of the novel? I could have sworn I read it on her website and the twilight lexicon....

Answer 1

The second book it was based on was the merchant of venice.

It's under FAQ about breaking dawn on her website

www.stepheniemeyer.com

Answer 2

1) A Midsummer Night's Dream

AND

2) The Merchant of Venice (which was hinted in Breaking Dawn.)

It's all on Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn FAQ page.
