Abstract

The background study for the research lays the foundation by contextualizing the importance of exploring the relationship between the supernatural realm and escapism in Neil Gaiman's novel ‘Coraline’(2002). Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" has captivated readers with its imaginative narrative and the exploration of a parallel universe that serves as an escape for the protagonist, Coraline Jones. By using qualitative descriptive approach through ecocriticism point of view, this study seeks to delve into the intricate construction and portrayal of the supernatural world within "Coraline" as a compelling form of escapism. The study finds that Coraline is drawn to the supernatural Other World as an emotional escape from neglect, but this environment, though initially idealized, gradually reveals itself as artificial and dangerous. Ultimately, the novel critiques escapism by showing that fabricated worlds built to satisfy human desires are unsustainable both ecologically and psychologically.
