Sarah Schwartzman points out how Stephanie Meyer's religious beliefs influenced her Twilight novels. Some themes in these novels coincide with Mormon values and beliefs. Such themes include abstinence from sex before marriage, family relationships and immortality, traditional gender roles, free agency, and sacrifice. Schwartzman warns against interpreting the novels just as Mormon literature.
