4	* What happened to the corpse of Edward's "father"? Given Edward's personality, it's obvious that he wouldn't know about death, so he couldn't have known to bury his "father". Are we supposed to assume that the scientist's body just decomposed while Edward ''watched''?
5	** It's possible that the Inventor did teach Edward about burials before dying, if only through poems. This leads to the question of how a guy with blades for fingers managed to dig a hole and put his "father's" body in there? The poor guy would be in bits!
6	** The scenes with the Inventor don't really show the time period they occur in, though they likely occurred decades before the film, since the mansion is rather decrepit and abandoned-looking when shown at the beginning. It may be that when the Inventor wasn't heard from for a while - he had to eat and have food, after all, among other things - that people eventually showed up and found him dead, with Edward hiding from them. The dead Inventor was then promptly taken away by the authorities and buried at the local cemetery, with Edward left alone to fend for himself, with no one aware of his existence until Peg appeared and found him.
7	* Considering how the ending showed that Edward doesn't age, is he doomed to live alone in the mansion for all eternity? [[FateWorseThanDeath Better not think about it...]]
8	** And he is likely to GoMadFromTheIsolation eventually. Although the ending tries to suggest otherwise by showing Edward to be happy and peaceful all by himself, who knows how long that will last?
9	** Consider this: Kim said she wouldn't go to see Edward because she was old now. Maybe her granddaughter will go see him and convince him to go back into the world?
