Question: I've never quite understood why Edward damages the curtains and bathroom walls at the Boggs' house. After he tells Kim that he only helped with the robbery because she asked him to, and then Jim shows up. Kim tries to convince Jim to tell the truth, so why does Edward act that way?

Question: What exactly is Edward? Is he some sort of android?
Chosen answer: Just like Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" we are not actually told how Edward is created. (Most have interpreted it to mean he was made of discarded body parts, though she never actually states that the body parts he stole were used in the monster, just in his "experiments".) In the end, we are left to believe that the inventor created a human-like person from some sort of scratch. Edward has blood, emotions, creativity, and the ability to heal his many wounds. Beyond that, we are told nothing.

Answer: He doesn't know what she's saying. He sees the girl he just opened his heart to immediately run off, apparently into the arms of another man. That's what made him angry. Remember, he's had no chance to learn the nuance of human interaction or how to control overwhelmingly hard feelings.
