Setting in a book is where everything that happens in the book takes place, where all the action occurs. Setting is the book’s world, where the characters are, or what the place is, what it looks like, and what emotions it can bring. In the book // Coraline //, the setting revolves around two different places: Coraline’s true home and Coraline’s other home. Coraline’s true home is an old flat surrounded by and overgrown garden, and it is shared by her family and other people. The mood of Coraline’s true home is somewhat boring and stale. Coraline’s other house is more fresh and has slight differences from her true house. It was created by a demon witch called the Beldam and is calling itself Coraline’s other mother; she is trying to steal her soul. And behind the trees is just plain white; like an open canvas and all the other mother created was just that house and nothing more. Coraline’s other house has a joyful, welcoming, toy-like mood at firs, and then it descends into a creepy, world-is-falling-apart sort of mood.
