DISCUSSION 2: Our first poem, Goblin Market, is a long one; I’d say it’s more of a short story written in verse. The key here would be to read it first on the literal level. Just try to understand what’s happening in the plot of the story from verse to verse. Once you’ve worked out what happens in a literal sense, you can begin analyzing (inferential/interpretive level). Consider deeper meanings, symbolism, use of language, etc. Goblin Market was published in 1862, which is the same era as A Doll’s House, but the author is English rather than Norwegian.
As with all of the literature we’ve read so far, do NOT look up any information on the poem for your discussion posts. The entire idea is for you to discuss what you think it all means and to exchange ideas with each other, supporting your theories with evidence from only the poem itself. There is no one right answer anyway when it comes to literature. Multiple interpretations are possible.
Once you’ve read the poem, respond to the following questions:
Provide a basic summary of what happens in the poem (just on a literal level).
Do you think that the goblins represent anything in particular in this poem? If so, what … and why do you think that?
List 2 separate lines of the poem that you feel include some sexual imagery and break down the language to help others understand the sexual imagery you’re referring to.
What are some of the themes of this poem? What do you think it’s about deep down? What is the author trying to tell us? (This questions is asking you to look at the bigger picture on an evaluative level.)
Add any extra thoughts/ideas/insights that came to mind for you as you read this week’s text. Try to bring to the forefront something interesting that you’ve noticed about the story and that you’d like to share with me and your peers for further discussion
