First interpretations of 'Goblin Market'


With in the poem 'Goblin Market' my first thought was that it related to sin and temptation.
'While to this day no grass will grow where she lies low.'
'We must not look at Goblin men, we must not buy their fruits.'
Lust: 'Buy from us with a golden curl.' Laura sold herself to the Goblin men.
Greed: 'Piled on a dish of gold, Too huge for me to carry.'
Men held power over women in a patriarchal society.
Market place /status
Eve ate the forbidden fruit- 'Fruits which that unknown orchard bore; She sucked until her lips were sore.'
Cast out of Eden- 'Do you not remember Jeanie...'
The snake tempted Eve-'COME BUY COME BUY'
GOBLIN MEN=THE SNAKE/DEVIL
