Goblin market 3

This poem although is an idea unhighly looked upon I think is very christian based. Christina Rossetti being a christian herself would quite explain all the biblical terms made. Some people would link this in with redemption. "she clung about her sister kissed and kissed" . The fact that "she clung" could be a representation of when jesus says I will never leave you nor forsake you. I also think its really key that it was a "sister" used god is said to be our father which is obviously a relation and so is this. Is rossetti trying to show us the love that jesus has for us that when we return to him he will great us with open arms "kissed and kissed" just like the story in the bible of the prodicle son. No matter what sin has taken place we will still be invited back with open arms. another thought could be lizzie, a representation of jesus christ "stamped upon her tender feet" shows the violence and abuse and at this point we think maybe jesus / lizzie will give into temptation but she doesnt as it says " royal virgin town" "like a rock" so firm like jesus so beautiful sinless and pure "white and golden". whe jesus got tempted in the wilderness 40 days and 40 nights but never gave in. Then the most beautiful line "one may lead a horse to water, Twenty cannot make him drink". This just somes up for me jesus but also human beings the excuse often used is "im human , We sin" but I love the way this just says no sin can be tempting but no one no goblin (satan) can draw you in and for jesus sin didn't. Coming to the end we say just like in the bible a sacrifice has to be made to take away all the sin of the world when "is it death or is it life" this is just like when jesus was crucified and resirected from the dead and runs back to all his disciples " never mind  my bruises" like the scars in jesus hands he is just so happy to see them.
