"Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems" by Christina Rossetti is a collection of poems written in the mid-19th century. This anthology merges fairy-tale elements with deep moral themes and societal critiques. The title poem, "Goblin Market," explores themes of temptation and sisterhood, while other included works delve into love, loss, and the passage of time. The beginning of "Goblin Market" introduces two sisters, Laura and Lizzie, who hear the alluring calls of goblin men selling enchanted fruit. Lizzie warns Laura against the temptation, knowing the dangers that await. While Lizzie resists, Laura succumbs to curiosity and ultimately tastes the forbidden fruit, leading her down a path of longing and sorrow. The opening sets the tone for a tale rich in symbolism, intertwining elements of desire, sacrifice, and the bond between sisters, suggesting a deeper narrative of moral choices and consequences that will unfold throughout the collection.
