Point of View

The point of view of Midnight Sun is first-person, exclusively through the eyes of Edward Cullen, who is most notably a vampire. The work runs in tandem with author Stephenie Meyer's original work, Twilight, in which first-person narrator Bella Swan tells her story of how she fell in love with a vampire. Midnight Sun tells of Edward's perspective of how the events unfold as he chronicles his struggles with not only falling in love with a human, but also thwarting his temptations to kill this human. In this writing, Meyer has the daunting task of conveying how a vampire thinks, acts, and resolves the challenges of being an immortal killer in a sleepy town in Washington. The reader is afforded a first-hand account of the self-control and deliberation that Edward exercises when beginning a relationship with Bella.
