So Breaking Dawn was based off of a Midsummer Night's Dream and which other novel?

Question

I just finished the book and I heard it was based off of two novels. What was the other one?

Answer 1

Wow...how unoriginal if it's based off of TWO novels...and how can someone copy off Shakespear...

Answer 2

I believe the Merchant of Venice was the other book Breaking Dawn was based on.

Answer 3

I think i read somewhere that Stephenie said that the other book was Merchant of Venice and that that was the significance of Alice using it to write Bella a note

Answer 4

Merchant of Venice. Do you remember what Alice wrote her note in? It was on Bella's copyrighted page of Merchant of Venice. I haven't read MOV, but the plot may be related to MOV, somehow.

Answer 5

good question i was wondering that too.

SM said somthing about that!

thanks for asking.

Answer 6

I've heard it was THe Jungle by Upton SinClaire

Answer 7

I think it's something by Orson Scott Card.

Answer 8

At first I thought it was Freedy Cougar becausee of the whole demon child. But it is Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare, because of the whole "fight" scene where noone would win physically but more like a mental fight.
