Coraline

Chapter 1 · The Door

Summary

After moving into an old house, Coraline explores its garden, meets unusual neighbours, and searches the rooms on a rainy day. She discovers a locked door leading to a brick wall, but later sees it open “just a crack” and dreams of unsettling black shapes.

Key Events

  1. Coraline explores the old house and its grounds, meets Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, corrects her name, and questions the upstairs man’s unlikely story about a mouse circus.
  2. Coraline searches for the dangerous well after the neighbours warn her away, then explores the garden and watches a haughty black cat that avoids her attempts to play.
  3. When rain traps Coraline indoors, she grows bored with books, videos, television, and toys, so her father suggests that she explore the flat instead.
  4. Coraline counts the flat’s doors and windows and discovers that the locked wooden door in the drawing room opens onto a brick wall leading to the empty flat.
  5. That night, Coraline follows a small black shape into the drawing room and finds the old door slightly open, although it still reveals only the brick wall.
  6. Coraline closes the door and returns to bed, but she dreams of many small black shapes with red eyes and sharp teeth singing an unsettling warning.
