As a children's novel, Coraline is a psychological fantasy of a young girl, Coraline. After moving into a new flat house, she can not make a friendship with her old aged neighbors. As her parents are too busy to play with her, she is completely isolated, feeling lonely and suffering emptiness. Being charged by the autistic impulses indicated in her insomnia, she creates a dreamlike fantasy world of doll’s house. However, this act completely blocks every interrelationship with people. In fact this is a transitional phenomenon overshadowed by the fantasy world of autism, reflecting the negative presence of the mother. In that illusive place, she meets three ghost children who were tempted by the beldam, thus losing their lifes and souls; they symbolizes the children who have autism. Coraline encounters the terrible danger of her life as she almost falls down to autism. Nonetheless, she overcomes her autistic impulse by removing all the negative feelings against her mother. As mother has an important role for autistic children, by reestablishing a mature relationship with her mother, Coraline finally conquers her autistic symptoms. (Hannam University)
