Thesis Statement - My argument

In Henry Selicks film 'Coraline', one character whose change was important to the story was the other mother. We first encounter her as a kind perfect mother, but by the end we see her true nature as an evil soul stealing demon. This shows us the theme of looks can be deceiving. This essay will discus how physical, Lighting and costume are used to show the change of the other mother.

The Other Mother, a character in Henry Selicks film 'Coraline', changes from a nice caring mother to a soul stealing demon spider.
