The main character is, from the start of the film introduced as an outsider. Living figuratively and metaphorically on the outside of suberbia, Edward is a symbolisation of the unstereotypical. This therefore equates that to not conform defines such a character as in literal terms 'bad', not perfect as he is shuned from society or indeed feels the need to hide away from it. It is the imperfections of Edward that make him in fact an individual. To be different is not always viewed as wrong. The way in which the character is portrayed, displays him as a form of 'monster' thus demonstrating the view of those contained within the suberbian bubble.
