ENG 3140 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Goblin Market, Cautionary Tale
Document Summary
First published as a read aloud to children: often children stories have adult themes but they don"t/won"t understand. Christina is dante"s sister and only loosely related to the pre-raph movement. Reminiscent of eve and her apple, or persephone and the pomegrantie. Its like the apple has multiplied and manifested in dozens more fruit. The amount/variety of these fruits would be exotic to these people; these fruits are foreign. Interest in doppelganger: means doubling, lindsey and laura. The other is excited by the goblins and affected by temptation laura. Goblins: evil creatures, does it matter what the thought of them at this time was, what matters is that theyre associated with animalistic and evil. Cutting laura off in her prime: more close and comforted by nature, warm not much clothing, more daylight, but they are experiencing this at night. Archetype of entering the woods, or forest and experiencing bad/evil things.
