OK this is what I believe lies behind the other mothers mind.


Other Mother's POV

She still couldn't understand what Coraline had against button eyes or her love. I mean button eyes weren't that bad. In fact they were better than human eyes. With human eyes to see from the corner of your eyes you had to move your pupils in that direction. With button eyes, there were no pupils. You could see everything at once. For an example when Coraline had walked into the den with the cat the other mother could see her in the corner of her eyes and everything in front of her. That was most certainly an improvement compared with human eyes.

As for her love, how could Coraline want to rescue those people she called parents. How could she want to be with those people who most certainly didn't love her. Sure the other mother had intended to eat Coraline eventually. But come on she had to eat too after all.

Most people called her a witch or Beldam. Maybe she was. But she just wanted love, and something to eat. How is that a bad thing?

She sighed. She was waiting for her hand to come back. It was currently climbing up a very deep well with the key. But once it got out of there she could begin a new plan to get Coraline back here, and have those button eyes sewn in. Yes she could hardly wait.


This is what I believe is what the other mother believes. I was thinking about how a person would be able to see through a pair of buttons and since they have no pupils the whole button would be a big huge pupil. So it would probably be ten times better than a human eye. So I have to say that If the other mother asked me if I wanted button eyes I would say yes. Sure there's the risk of getting eaten. But with eye sight that can see that well you can't help but agree.
