Social Norms In Corpse Bride

The Corpse bride and Caroline Concentrate on the social norms and the characteristic of greed is in both movies which lead the protagonist into the alternative world where they are challenged by people and obstacles

A stay at home mother, and a workaholic father who still has time for his
