    Theme Of Edward Scissorhands And Corpse Bride

Edward, of course, felt discouraged and went off to cut some giant bonsai-like trees into decorative shapes (these ranged from stars to clowns to dinosaurs to ballerinas) and this is where his artistic skills were noticed by some peoples of the neighbourhood; Word had gotten around that Edward had done a spectacular job at cutting a dog’s hair perfectly, and soon everyone in Suburbia wanted their dog’s or dogs’ hair done. Edward, being the uncommonly gentle man he was, agreed to cut everyone’s dog’s (and their dogs’) hair, and soon enough, the ladies who were having their dog’s hair cut wanted their hair cut too- especially desperate housewife Joyce, who interrupts his cutting with a risqué, “Oh, Eddie, is there anything you can 't do? You take my very breath away, I swear. Look at this!…

    Because of this, Edward is left alone to live a life of isolation in his gloomy castle, stuck with scissors for hands. Ironically, this castle is found at the end of a purposely unremarkable, normal neighborhood. The juxtaposition created is almost comical. Suspension of disbelief must be applied, because not only do any of the characters not question why there is a castle in their neighborhood, they also do not show any real concern for the medical implications of Edward’s condition. Additionally, the events of the film are told by an older version of Kim, presumably to her own granddaughter, in a sort of fairy tale-esque bedtime story.…

Though the elements of this tale extend all the way back to the ancient story of Cupid and Psyche, not taking on many of the contemporary and recognizable aspects of the story till the 18th Century with Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve's “La Belle et la Bete” which then was shortened and rewritten by Jean-Marie Leprince de Beaumont; the latter version becoming a much more popular and base-line text for future adaptations”(Barchilon 23).
