Christina Rossetti – “Goblin Market”

For this answer you should provide two very specific pieces of evidence in the form of quotations. Be specific in your discussion and analysis of the text. When using quotation, provide line numbers for poetry and volume/chapters for novels, page numbers for short story.

Your evidence should come from different places in the text to show that you read the whole thing and to demonstrate that your argument applies to the whole text and not just one small part.
You should follow your evidence with explanation that clearly shows why that evidence proves your point.

Question

1. Choose ONE character, either Laura or Lizzie, from Christina Rossettis Goblin Market and make a case for which category of woman she fits at the end of the poem. Include a definition of those specific roles (angel in the house, fallen woman, new woman) and use at least two moments in the poem, one from earlier in the poem and one from later in the poem, to help explain your answer.
