warm familiarity of homeliness, or the home
Which one is true?
1. a comma is required after the word "home" and it should be like "and therefore suggests the warm familiarity of homeliness (or the home) as the protector as well of ‘ugly secrets".
2."the home" means "the homely thing" and there fore it can be written as "and therefore not only implies the ‘warm familiarity’ of homeliness but also describes the homely thing as the protector as well of ‘ugly secrets’.
context:
The uncanny is a particularly relevant notion here because of the manner in which it effectively incorporates simultaneously – as Freud argues in his celebrated essay, and as several commentators have elaborated upon – antithetical concepts of the ‘homely’ (heimlich) and ‘unhomely’ (unheimlich). The argument turns really on the fact that heimlich also means ‘secret’ (in fact, that is its more usual sense in everyday usage) and therefore suggests the ‘warm familiarity’ of homeliness, or the home as the protector as well of ‘ugly secrets’.

For #1, you would not want a comma because it is already parenthetical. There is a problem with #2 because it is redundant to say not only...but also and as well.
