One theme that is present in Twilight (and the rest of the series) is love and desire. Bella and Edward are hopelessly in love with each other. Jacob is in love with Bella. The rest of the Cullen couples are in love with each other. The book is full of teenage love and desire.

Bella has a choice throughout the series to become like the Cullens, and a great deal of time is spent discussing the positives and negatives of such a choice.
