BINARY OPPOSITIONS OF THE PARENTS’ FIGURES IN CORALINE MOVIE

This research uses the animation movie as the object, and the title of the animation movie that is used is Coraline. The movie Coraline tells about a little girl who finds a little door inside her new apartment where she meets the other parents who treat her differently from her Real parents. The problem that is found in this movie is that there are some contrasting aspects between the character of the Real and the Other Parents. This dualism causes a problematic thought for the character of Coraline. How Coraline compare and contrast her judgment over her parents is an important matter because generally a child would only have their judgment of their parents only in the imagination. The presence of the both parents makes Coraline in a difficult position. The purpose of this research is to be one of the references for those who study literature, especially the binary opposition theory. This research is a qualitative research that aims to analyze the contrasting aspects between the real and the other parents‘ characters with the theory of binary opposition. Not only using the theory of binary opposition, but this research is also using the film theory by Amy Villarejo to help explaining the events from the Coraline movie
