         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. The goblins form a brotherhood which parallels Laura and Lizzie's own relationship.</p><p>2.  The theme of sisterhood that runs through the poem may be due to the
emancipation movement of women that was occurring in Victorian England at the time. </p><p>3.  Love is a prominent theme in Goblin Market as it is Laura's love of the fruit
that allows Lizzie to display her sisterly love by saving Laura from being a "fallen women".</p><p>4. Rossetti employs a enumerative list to describe the fruit and the manner in which the goblin's
physical features are described emphasize they come as a pair.</p><p>5. Women's roles in the Victorian era would not have supported Lizzie taking such a proactive role as 
attempting to stand up to the Goblins

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1). The fruit mentioned in the poem, is personified as being like drug; because the character Laura becomes addicted to it and desperately wants to devour more of it, if her sister Lizzie gave her the opportunity. </p><p>2). Lizzie is the stronger sister, due to this her role is questioned as she acts like a hero. Which at the time was not a  feminine thing to do.</p><p>3). The Goblins can be portrayed as being magical, as well as cruel creatures, due to what they did to Lizzie and also how they are always so commanding. </p><p>4). Sisterhood seems to out rule brotherhood and that this particular bond can conquer all.</p><p>5).  Laura's characterisation is peculiar, as she is adventurous and daring. Laura seems like, she is the risk taker out of the two sisters. With her being portrayed <span style="font-size: 13px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">this way, people at the time would of thought; the way she was behaving was incredibly inappropriate and 'unladylike'.  </span></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. Theme of sisterhood would have been relevant to women at time as an emancipation movement for women was occurring</p><p>2. Goblins could be allegory for drug dealers</p><p>3. Lots of description, often magic and spell-like, with omniscient narrator allows reader to be separated from the text, so it seems more like a story in another world. Meaning reader doesn't focus on horror that may be men selling drugs to naive young girls, but on the moral of the story: the strength of sisterhood.</p><p>4. Laura could be compared to Pandora</p><p>5. Extremity of evil of goblins creates contrast to sisters so they seem more pure</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. The idea of a sisterhood and the independence of women cannot
 exist without the threatening brotherhood.</p><p>
2. Rossetti's use of animal imagery to describe the goblins shows that
they bare no resemblance of humanity, so they are depicted by the reader 
as evil.</p><p>
3. Laura could be seen as the hero of the poem, for her courage to seek 
knowledge even in the face of danger.&nbsp;</p><p>
4. By always mentioning the goblins at morning or evening, the barrier
 between reality and fantasy is blurred,  giving it a fairy tale quality.&nbsp;</p><p>
5. The light imagery used to describe Lizzie contrasts the dark imagery
used for the goblins, giving them another dimension of evilness.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. The fruit and Laura's addiction to it could represent drugs and drug addiction.</p><p>2. The idea of brotherhood and sisterhood and how they are in opposition to each other yet one cannot exist without the other; the sisters could only join together because of the goblins and the goblins would have nobody to sell the fruit to without the sisters.</p><p>3. Lizzie's actions to save her sister by confronting the goblins would not be supported by people at the time and this would be seen as a man's role</p><p>4. The fruit is described as being bright which hides it's true dark and evil nature.</p><p>5. The goblins could be taken to represent all of men</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>1. Either lizzie or Laura can be seen as the hero of the poem-Laura shows bravery and courage and Lizzie saves her sister</p><p>2.the theme of brotherhood and sisterhood could represent good vs evil</p><p>3.sisterhood is non existent unless there is a problem eg. one needs saving</p><p>4.the goblins are mentioned in either the morning or evening which shows that the line between reality and fantasy is often unclear/can be crossed</p><p>5.animal imagery is used to describe the sisters and the goblins but contrasting animals are used</p>]]></description>
