From Quiz Nitpicking "New Moon"
Answer:
Romeo and Juliet
A clear parallel to Edward and Bella's story, "Romeo and Juliet" is William Shakespeare's tale of star crossed lovers who are kept apart by their circumstances. Juliet fakes her death to be with Romeo, but, as usual in one of Shakespeare's plays, things go wrong and Romeo comes to believe that Juliet is really dead. Having no will to live without her, he goes to where she is entombed and kills himself with poison. Tragically, just as Romeo is dying, Juliet awakens from her death-like slumber, too late to save him. Upon realizing Romeo is now dead, Juliet kills herself with a dagger. The play ends here, with the famous lines "For never was a story of more woe / Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
Thankfully for Bella and Edward, Bella IS in time to stop Edward from bringing about his own death (maybe Edward will reconsider his envy of the ease with which Romeo could commit suicide!) and so they have a much happier ending.
Meyer has revealed in an interview that each of the books is inspired by a work of literature: "Twilight" by Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"; "New Moon" by Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"; "Eclipse" by Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights"; and "Breaking Dawn" by Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream." If you haven't already, I'd recommend reading all of the originals too! "Wuthering Heights" was even re-released with a special "Twilight"-inspired cover.
