Abstract :This study examines the long allegorical poem Goblin Market and the literary character of the creator of this unique work, Christina Georgina Rossetti insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1830-1894); from different perspectives. Besides, Rossetti’s view of life is suggested as her motivation to write this poem. In this study, Goblin Market is interpreted from a religious perspective. The importance of resistance to desires and to remain morally justified are presented as the virtues of women determined by God. This religious perspective is also supported by the patriarchal world where women serve the sense of decency in the society through the stories they tell to raise virtuous children. This study also examines sisterly and womanly solidarity besides religious aspects as the poem tells the story of two sisters. The goblins in the poem are regarded as Rossetti’s symbolism of men as the seducers of women with their tricky attractions in the real world. In this study, the point of view regarding desires as sins and weaknesses is considered from religious, social and literary aspects.
