In the book "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer, the narrator reflects on a past perspective of someone they once viewed as their guiding light, akin to the sun. This individual brought warmth and clarity, helping to navigate through life’s darker moments symbolized by clouds. However, the dynamics have changed, leading to an acknowledgment of the complexities introduced by deeper issues, represented here as an eclipse. The character expresses a sense of struggle, admitting that while they can contend with everyday challenges (the clouds), they feel overwhelmed when faced with life's more significant obstacles (the eclipse). This metaphor highlights the emotional turmoil and the difficulty in reconciling their feelings in the midst of complicated relationships.
