* BlueAndOrangeMorality: It’s noted that even after [[spoiler:the new laws were drawn up, Joham can’t be prosecuted for his assault on Bella and others as previous rules focused on just protecting the vampires' secret rather than punishing that kind of assault; vampires disapproved of his actions on unspoken ethical grounds, but they couldn't legally punish him]].
* BrilliantButLazy: Discussed regarding Joham; he is clearly intelligent and determined, but it’s noted that his long-term plans for using his hybrid children are relatively unformed, with people observing that he just had vague ideas about world domination through using the hybrids to infiltrate human society but no clear plan on how to actually initiate such a takeover.



* FateWorseThanDeath: Are and Alec are punished for trying to stage a revolt [[spoiler:by having their hands and eyes removed respectively; Aro is fitted with advanced prosthetics, but this punishment still deprives both vampires of their old ability]].

* FateWorseThanDeath: Are and Alec are punished for trying to stage a revolt [[spoiler:by having their hands and eyes removed respectively; Aro is fitted with advanced prosthetics, but this punishment still deprives both vampires of their old ability]]. The epilogue mentions that [[spoiler:Aro was punished for attempting to escalate North Korea's nuclear weapons program by having his teeth removed, and Alexander notes that if Aro is caught planning anything else he will be killed]].



*MinorInjuryOverreaction: Brought up when Edward is bitten by a rat; Emmett initially laughs at Edward’s shock before it’s made clear that [[spoiler:this bite actually broke Edward’s skin, something obviously impossible for a regular rat, which means that the rat is a shapeshifter like the Quillettes]].



* NoodleIncident: Reference is made to something that happened to Aro in a port in Shanghai which has kept him out of China, India ''and'' Russia for an unspecified length of time because he doesn't want to go back to the continent.

* RulesLawyer: Carlisle is able to point out to the Quillettes that no rules have been broken with Bella being turned into a vampire as none of the Cullens changed her and she wasn’t even in Forks at the time.

** Later on, this essentially works against the Cullens and Bella in terms of [[spoiler:punishing Joham; even after new laws have been drawn up regarding inhumane treatment of humans, they can’t punish Joham for the actions that led to the birth of his children as the Volturi’s rules only involved keeping the secret, even if certain ethical standards were still expected without being officially enforced, and punishing Joham for past actions would set an uncomfortable precedent. By contrast, Aro can be punished for his attack on Esme as they had drawn up the new rules by that point even if they didn’t have any ‘elected officials’ yet]].


Added DiffLines:

** In the epilogue, [[spoiler:vampires, shifters and others are all working together in the Price Coalition, which was named because Emmett noted in an early meeting that “every single one of [them] has been played by Creator/VincentPrice”]].

* VegetarianVampire: The Cullens are an obvious example, but [[spoiler:in the epilogue it’s revealed that Kyra has been able to develop a blood substitute that tastes fine but doesn’t require the death of humans]].
