A seemingly innocent poem‚ Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market” follows the tale of two sisters and their individual encounters with goblin men. On its surface‚ the poem seems to tell a tale focused on seduction‚ lust‚ and sexuality‚ however‚ behind its fairytale frame‚ there are signs eluding to a more religious theme.

An example of this in the poem is that once Laura has had a taste of the fruit she immediately wants
