Critics have been partial in their treatment of the poetic character Laura in Rossetti's poem, “Goblin Market.” While they have paid much attention to Lizzie as the main heroine that brings redemption to her sister, Laura, they have ignored or slighted the importance of Laura in the poetic action. Such a partial treatment of Laura--an author of temptation, fall and regeneration-aises a couple of questions about the nature of redemption and the coherence of the poetic narrative. Two questions demand our immediate attention: whether it is possible to achieve redemption purely by other's help without one's own effort and how the sudden high-lighting of Laura can be explained who emerges as the poetic voice at the end of the poem.
To answer these questions, this paper traces the changes the two poetic heroes go through and evaluates their nature. For a basic frame, it employs the path of the rites of passage Joseph Campbell delineates in his noted study of mythical and legendary heroes of the world, A Hero with Thousand Faces. Evaluating the change of characters in each stage, it concludes that Laura experiences the more substantial change in her understanding of herself and the world around her, thus acquiring the right to render the poetic message of the value of sisterly love and interdependence, while Lizzie's role is responsive and focuses on countermeasures to the urgent problem of saving Laura. Nevertheless, it is through the dialectical operation of the two sisters that Laura's redemption is secured, consequently creating a new female community based on close kinship and solidarity of female characters, and renewed communion with nature, with violence and disruptive forces vanished. In the poem, Rossetti's consistent sympathetic tone and uncensorious stance on Laura, her use of similes and metaphors concerning Laura with explicitly positive implications, and the poetic ending in which Laura takes the role of the poetic speaker who passes on the moral of the poem are telling evidence of Laura's poetic role as an emerging female hero.
By creating a new female myth, Rossetti tries to correct male-dominant society while opening a new possibility for women's participation and initiation that is epitomized in Lizzie's role of a female Christ. Nevertheless, the new community Rossetti proposes is not without limitation because of its exclusion of male participation. Instead of harmonious existence between male and female, Rossetti's world appears vulnerable, reflecting a sad reality.
