Edward Scissorhands is a classic Gothic Romance that follows Edward’s shift from an isolated mansion to the rigid norms of suburban America. This book reinterprets three scenes from the film through the theme of religious thresholds in contemporary society. As beliefs evolve and many distance themselves from traditional Christianity, tensions arise between longstanding doctrine and modern worldviews. Esmeralda’s fear of Edward echoes this broader cultural divide, highlighting how misunderstanding often fuels conflict between faith and change.
