"looks can be deceiving"
- things aren't always what they seem
EXAMPLE 1 = the beldam / other mother
- she starts off good and then ends up evil / soul eater / metal spider demon
- shows theme because the other mother changes over time without the audience and Coraline not noticing
- important to the story because it helps the audience understand Coralines choice when she realises that having everything perfect won't make her happy.
EXAMPLE 2 = other world vs the real world
the other world is a perfect web / trap to catch coraline whereas the real world is boring but safe
- shows theme because even though the other world seems better in every way, the real world is actually better / safer because it isn't a trap.
- important for her audience to understand why coraline goes back into the real world.
Statement - in coraline, themes and ideas are used effectively
Evidence - for instance, "looks can be deceiving" is shown through the character of the 'Other Mother" the other mother starts out nice but is revealed to be a soul devouring demon.
eXplanation - this makes the audience feel that we shouldnt trust things or people that seem perfect at first glance
eXplanation - this was done to make us feel weary or develop a sence of caution towards a new situation
eXplanation - coinciding with this is the use of colour to show the "other mother" is becoming more evil, at the start she is surrended by warm colours that makes us feel safe but by the end it is dark with neon green.
your link - this theme is also shown through the changes in the other world as it is revealed to be a spider web design to catch coraline
