Can you help me better understand Stephanie Meyer's "New Moon"?

ill do my best.

essentially the volturi are "collectors" and Aro finds Edwards Ability enticing, he wants edward to join them so than Aro can add Edward to his little collection (like Jane and Alec).

if this doesnt clear it up, email me with any questions and ill help you out

Ok well you know already that Edward went to the Volturi to get them to kill him because he thought Bella was dead, the Volturi told him to no, so he went to town and was goin to step out in the sunlight to "reveal" himself but Bella pushed him away, and then the volturi ask them if they are sure they don't want them to join, they think they would be good for the Volterra..

Hope I helped =) hope you enjoy Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, they are VERY good books!!!

The Volturi want Edward to become one of them.

the volturie are like italian vampire royalty

edward is going there to ask them to kill him because he cannot live without bella

if they refuse hes going to force their hand by exposing himself as a vampire

They don't really want anything from him. They don't want to ecpose them selves as vampires, though. I can't really say much, I don't want to ruin it for you.
