Andi ST Nafisah Amir. 2022. Symbolic Power of Parental Issue in Neil Gaiman’s
“Coraline” (Supervised by Abidin Pammu dan M. Amir P)
The object of this research was a novel entitled Coraline. The writer
wanted to analyze the social life faced by Coraline, especially with her parents in
a novel. There were two objectives in this thesis. The first goal was to describe the
problem of fathers and mothers in the novel. The second objective was to explain
Coraline's paternal and maternal issues in the novel to discuss Bourdie's theory as
Symbolic Power.
The author used library research as a research method. The author
conducted library research to find books and other sources of information, such as
journals, articles, and websites to assist in the analysis of this research.
Furthermore, the author tried to find sources and references related to the topics
and/or approaches similar to this research to solve the problem.
The results of this study explained that Coraline was a kid with courage,
curiosity, and an adventurous spirit who has very strict biological parents,
workaholics who did not pay much attention to their daughter. Coraline was
constantly finding new and interesting ways to spent her time, both because her
parents were more devoted to their work and because she has a natural curiosity
for the world around her.
