In this full analysis of the 2003 award-winning children's novel, Coraline, literature professor, Whitney Kosters, examines the novel through a psychoanalytical lens, discussing the way Gaiman uses horror, Gothicism, fantasy, and Freudian psychoanalysis to help Coraline negotiate her place in the world, find and assert her identity, and learn to manage and face her fears in order to cultivate their independence. Talking points include discussions of the id, ego, and superego, Coraline's character and development, the other mother's "love," infantalization, spiders and their symbolism, the other world, the black cat, parental affection and care, identity, the hero's journey (monomyth), fear, and bravery.
