It makes the audience feel sorry for him, but it also reflects the sadness that has been always with Edward’s character. As another example when Edward was trapped in Jim’s house he was trying really hard to open the door but it was impossible because of his “condition” , Burton also uses eye line match during this scene between his hands, the lock’s door and his face to highlight how different life is for Edward even in the smallest details.
