Edward Scissorhands is an unfinished experiment that is afraid of the human race. Brought to the town by Peg, Edward is like a tool to the rest of the townspeople. They only accept him for what he can do and prejudice him as inhuman because of his hands. Edward is a caring person but, his wrong actions outweigh the good deeds that he has done in society. The color scheme of Edward compared to society is different, the townspeople all wear and decorate their houses with very vibrant and attention seeking colors (colorful houses, cars, clothing, hair, etc.). Edward, on the other hand, wears very dark and gloomy colors (full outfit is black, black hair, paler than the townspeople, etc.). As Edward becomes more used to society, he starts to wear human clothing like a white suit shirt and black pants but, never anything too bright like the townspeople. Edwards isolation and rejection from society makes it so that he is afraid of humans and how they will view him. When Edward went to jail, destroyed the plant sculptures, accidentally scratched up Kevin and, attacked Kevin, Society shunned him. They think he is a monster and forces him to become alone again. This change in character development proves that society never accepted Edward. The red the townspeople were wearing when Edward scratched up Kevin symbolizes how he is not human with his scissor hands, cursed to destroy
He demonstrates Bella why he and his family can't be found in the daylight, being that his skin shimmers in the light. Edward at that point demonstrates her what he is able by utilizing his superpowers of speed and quality and calls himself "The best predator on the planet."
...e romance between the dashing Edward and the everyday Bella, Meyer effectively reshapes the historical bond between vampire and victim. Although spiffed and tweaked, the new relationship succeeds because it has embraced and embellished a sturdy and historical foundation. Society has used the vampire, in some form, as a catalyst for protecting the human virtues of life and chastity, while managing to enthrall generations of movie goers.
Just like in any relationship, the concept of trust is an effectual factor in starting and developing a healthy and romantic relationship. In the movie, when Edward and Bella had a biological class together this aspect drew the two together, and the trust factor emerged at the first sight. The scent of Bella had an intense influence on Edward, for he is a vampire in nature. Moreover, it seemed as if Bella was the one Edward was waiting for a long time. Edward left school for a few days because the scent of Bella was too strong for him, and upon his return to school, he avoided stating the truth of why he was away from school. Edward stated, “He had to get out of the town for personal reasons and just in few days” (Blasingame et al. 57).
In particular, this theme is revealed in many occasions in the book. On page 56, Edward comes out of nowhere and saves Bella from a car accident that potentially could have taken her life. “Two long, white hands shot out protectively in front of me, and the van shuddered to a stop…” In similarity, towards the end of the movie, Edward saves Bella (who is alone) from being attacked by James. This makes us ask, “How are both of these scenes related?” However, both of these scenes are prominent in the movie and the book because they are so vital to the story. This shows how despite being far away, his protectiveness over Bella made him save her. This inflicts very positive characteristics on Edward, such as: bravery, selflessness, and compassion. The idea of love is what caused him to commit irrational actions in the most necessary
Edward thinks that Bella is human and he will be just a memory into a deep corner of her heart.
The Twilight series is a bestselling series written by Stephanie Meyer that has captivated millions of teenage girls. Twilight diverges from the vampire lore quite a bit and contains very little information about any other supernatural beings. Most vampire stories stress that vampires are night dwellers; that they cannot remain “alive” when the sun rises. Nevertheless, Twilight ignores that known ...
Meyer uses Bella Swan as the masochist and Edward Cullen as the sadist. Bella is described as a depressed, somewhat emotionless girl seeking to have her life ended as she constantly wonders “What was so great about mortality?” (New Moon). Edward finds himself to be agonized by the smell of Bella or just being around her, yet he can’t leave because the pain would be even more unbearable. In New Moon, Edward leaves Bella so he won’t put her in any danger, or “eat” her. Bella, devastated, constantly puts herself through near death experience just to hear the sound of his voice. Meyer shows Bella as an adrenaline junky hopping on stranger’s motorcycles, learning to ride a motorcycle, and to the extreme of jumping off a cliff. Of course, this is all worth it because she gets to hear Edward telling her in her head how stupid she is.

...haracter is changing and he realizes the reality more and more. Author pays only little attention to Edward’s love life, but we can observe some changes too.

Author Jane Austen had porttryal of arrogance that existed in upper class society. She uses Emma as a representative of the faults and lack of values of her society. Just as Emma contains these many faults, the upper class society as a whole also contains these many faults. Additionally, in Emma, Austen depicts the distorted views of gentility. Austen depicts her own message of true gentility by creating characters of differing class ranks. Bradbury relates that the characters that are socially high seem to be morally inferior and those of lower rank are "elevated" by their actions (Austen 81). Austen's development of characters, especially Emma, is very effective in relaying her message about the snobbery and lack of gentility that existed in upper class society.

Edward soon finds out that he can’t read Bellas mind making him confused and angry but also makes him want to get to know her better in a more human way of communication.
