Read: "Fallen Women in Victorian Art"Read: Rossetti: “Goblin Market”"Goblin Market" can be read in many ways. Many read it as a cautionary tale.

What kind of women are Lizzie and Laura? Are they angels or fallen or something else?

Also, the Pre-Raphaelite artists were very involved with the cause of Fallen Women and insert many symbols into their paintings. Rossetti, whose brother Dante was the leader of these artists, inserts many symbols into her poem too. Find a symbol in the poem and tell us what it symbolizes. For example, Rossetti includes a white lily. What does the lily represent? Comment on discussion board Readings: http://www.victorianweb.org/gender/fallen.html
