    The theme of obsession and addiction is evident throughout Christina Rossetti’s poem, Goblin Market.

A…

    There is a strong sense of truth to Katja Brandt’s statement that Christina Rossetti uses the women in her poem, “Goblin Market”, to act as spiritual guides rather than a subservient female characters.
