Learn More Got It! Taylor Lautner. Twilight Movie. Robert Pattinson. Why was Edward stepping out in the sun in Volterra in New Moon such a big deal? We get that it's against Volturi law for vampires to be noticed in open sunlight lest they be seen by humans sparkling and thereby, expose themselves as vampires. Which is what a depressed Edward does in New Moon, to try to force the Volturi to kill him. The thing is, in the Twilight universe, most people believed the standard widely-held vampire myths.

So as far as anyone who wasn't a vampire was concerned, a vampire getting hit by sunlight would burst into flames, not sparkle like a glittery disco ball.

If Edward had stepped into the sunlight in Volterra, most humans would have simply wondered if some pale guy had doused himself in a bunch of craft store glitter, not assumed he was a vampire. And why did Edward have to travel all the way to Volterra to reveal himself anyway?! Vampires were killed all the time by other vampires and the werewolves. Why didn't Edward just pick a fight with the Quileute tribe by breaking their treaty instead of traveling all the way to Volterra, Italy to "expose" himself as a vampire in front of the Volturi?

Then there's the fact that fire kills vampires. Both would have been much more efficient options. So dramatic!

Bella's mind shield is able to block any vampire power that affects her brain. That's why Edward and Aro couldn't read her mind, Jane couldn't make her feel pain it was only creating the illusion of pain , and Zafrina couldn't make her see visual projections she was able to make everyone else see.

Alice could to see her future, though, because Bella's future happens outside the mind. But accepting all this, the question is: Why could Jasper change Bella's emotions? After all, wouldn't manipulating her emotions technically be messing with her mind? But I'll try to salvage it just as Stephenie Meyer has done. My head is sort of… private.

You can read the chapter summary here. This question comes up at every single signing! The answer is explained in Eclipse, but I'm going to tell you all anyway, just so there's less confusion. Bella has a very private mind. She can't be touched there. What Edward and Aro do is clearly a mental thing; Jane, also, works inside the head Jane doesn't actually inflict pain on anyone's body, she just puts the illusion of pain inside her victim's head.

It's a very effective form of torture. Conversely, what Jasper does is no illusion. He affects the physical body, slowing the pulse and upping the endorphin levels to calm someone, for example, or raising the pulse and pumping out the adrenalin to excite them. Alice, also, works outside the mind in the realm of possible realities. She doesn't see the thought process behind the decisions, just the outcomes. I found this answer from Meyer here. It's listed as official website of Stephenie Meyer but I dont know for sure.

But her answer makes sense, albeit retrospectively. But emotions start from the mind. Adrienne is very into films and she enjoys a bit of everything: from superhero films to heartbreaking dramas, to low-budget horror films. Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs!
