摘要

The Twilight has achieved a great success since its showing in America. It tells a love triangle story among a human-Bena, a vampire-Adward and a werewolf-Jacob. At the beginning of the movie, Adward and Jacob are in mutually hostile-dependent relationship because of their love for Beria, and this girl finally chooses Adward as her husband which greatly exacerbates the conflicts between them. But this choice is not only a choice of love but also a choice of race. Since Adward is white while Jacob is a native American. What is hidden behind this love fight is actually the struggle between the races in America. Therefore, discrimination still exist in American society. However, the relationship between Adward and Jacob has changed a lot in the third series of The Twilight when Beria is in danger. At that time, they band together and try their best to protect her. A lot of stories happen between them, and at the end of the movie, Adward and Jacob finally become good friends which indicates that American racial discrimination has also been eased with the development of society and other factors. Therefore, people can learn about the change of American racial discrimination through studying the change of relationship between Adward and Jacob.
