Long Answer

1. The other mother’s world presents Coraline with some of Caroline's deepest desires and fulfills some of the roles Coraline feels are missing from her life. The moral of the novel could be that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, and it might be a trap. (Various chapters)

2. The other mother tries to convince Coraline that her parents don’t want her by showing them returning from vacation, being relieved she is gone, and acting happy to finally be without her. The other mother’s images are an illusion, but Coraline might have believed them had she not seen her parents begging for help on the other side of the mirror. (Various chapters)
