Analysis of Coraline and Future Research

Coraline is a very grotesque and dark fantasy book. There were moments that genuinely grossed me out. Despite some of the things being a little too grotesque for me, like the other mothers hand being cut off, this was by far my favorite book we read this semester. I enjoyed the journey Coraline went on as she tried to find her real parents and escape from having her soul taken by her “other mother.” Over the holidays when I have plenty of spare time, I hope to further my research on Coraline and other books that are considered to be grotesque. I also plan to further my research by watching the movie for the first time. I have heard good things about the movie and look forward to seeing it and comparing it to the book
