- things aren't always how they seem.
Example 1: The beldam/ The other mother.
- she started off as good/kind but is revelled to be an evil soul-devouring metal spider demon.
- shows theme because the other mother changes gradually over time so that Coraline and audience don't notice.
- important to the story because helps the audience understand corallines choice when she realises that having everything perfect won't make her happy.
Example 2: The Otherworld vs the Real-world.
- The otherworldly is a perfect web/trap to trap 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 to help the advance understand why caroline goes back to the real world
s,e,x,x,x,y paragraph
Statement - in caroline, themes and ideas are used effectively.
Evidence- for instance, the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is shown through the character of the other mother. the other mother started kind but is revealed to be a soul-devouring demon spider.
eXplanation (audience) - this makes the audience feel that we shouldn't trust things or people that seem perfect at first glance.
eXplanation (director) - this was done to make the advance feel weary or develop a science of caution towards new situations.
eXplanation (compare) - coinciding with this is the use of colour to show the other mother is becoming eviler. at the start, she is surrounded by warm colours that make us feel safe, but by the end of it, it is dark with neon greens which makes her seem dangerous.
Your link - this theme is also shown through the changes in the other world as it is revealed to be spider web disguise to trap caroline.
