Journal Article
Uncanny: A Whimsical Element in Neil Gaiman's Coraline
2021
Overview
All that is not conscious to the individual is considered to lie in the unconscious and may affect a person's thoughts and actions in day-to-day life without their knowledge. While the button eyes are the most obvious marker of her difference and monstrosity, there are other physical distortions that create uncanny and grotesque effect. When Coraline arrives in the other world, she instantly prepares her a \"huge, golden-brown roasted chicken, fried potatoes, tiny green peas\" that Coraline says \"was the best chicken that [she] had ever eaten\" (35). Like the witch in Hansel and Gretel, the Other Mother cleverly uses food (notably nutritious food, not candy) as a lure, and as a marker of maternal care and affection.
