Thinking about the theme ′Mother as Monster′ that is infused in both ′Coraline′ and ″Rosemary′s Baby″, what are some common elements? How do both works articulate a sense of fear (of rejection, loss, or violence) that their character′s feel? Do you think that the fear of ″Mother as Monster′ is a legitimate one? Both Coraline and Rosemary′s Baby are mostly set in the home. The domestic space is traditionally associated with warmth and security, and for many centuries, a maternal figure. How do you see this contributing to the ′monstrosity′ of the book and/or movie?
