Aw I forgot all about her!
Haha, there's a weirdo lady in my neighborhood who's just like her.
She called the cops on me & my friends once...

One thing you have to notice in any of Tim Burtons films is that he uses the idea of a person who is ordinary and have them go somewhere unordinary i.e Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yet he also takes unordinary people and put them into ordinary settings and watch to see how society accepts the unordingary. i.e. Edward. Also something to notice in Tims films is that depending on the story he bases the real world on the amin characters peception. In Edward Scissorhands, his home is dark and old and bleak, yet when he is introduced into a different world, it is beautiful and happy. Another example can be seen in Nightmare and Charlie. The symbolisim in Tim Burtons movies is not only in the story line but also in the set and in the costumes. If you notice in costuming, when it's all happy and cheerful, the characters are dressed in bright colors, yet when someones going to die or be hurt or kill, they are usually in red, black, or another dark color. If you watch his movies and study each scene carefully, there are a lot of symobols in the sets, makeup, and costuming, not just the dialouge and story line.

i also like the symbolism when peg is driving up to the mansion and it looks dark and creepy then she walks into the garden and it's bright and beautiful...it just shows you can't judge a book by its cover, it kind of symbolises Edward who may look scary or weird (i dont think so but)and inside hes beautiful.

I think the ice sculptures show that beauty fades in the fact that ice melts and that the ice is cold to him like he seems cold to other people. (except his kind-of-adopted family) Also, things like that hand the hair and hedges show that there are some things that he doesn't hurt if he touches them and it creates something beautiful. (until he destroys the hedges.)
