In this timeline, I will use historical events that happened around the time that Christina Rossetti wrote "Goblin Market" about the temptations of "fallen women" who were unable to withhold themselves from sexual temptations. Women needed to be pure in order to get married, throughout the poem, Rossetti uses imagery and symbolism to show the temptations and desires that have happened.
Wilfred Owen used his own experiences during World War I to contradict the translation of one of his most notable poems, "Dulce et Decorum Est" with gruesome forms of imagery.
England 1819 is about the Peterloo Masacar and why the masacar happened under the rule of King George IV.
The Massacre of Peterloo took place in Manchester England on August 16,1819. This massacre killed 18 people and injured many. King George IV ruled at the time and he and his father King George III did not care about the low class people. This event happened becuase the people wanted to take back what was theirs.
My Argument- Did Owen's past war experience help improve his works with the language and descriptions?
In “Goblin Market”, Christina Rossetti utilizes sexual imagery and symbolism to portray the nineteenth century reform of the “fallen woman”. In the Victorian era it was important to uphold a woman’s purity before marriage, so Rossetti is forewarning temptation and unfaithfulness while offering forgiveness through morals and repentance. In this timeline I will be outling the historical and cultural events that helped shape Christina Rossetti's approach to "Goblin Market" and her reasoning behind it.
Wilfred Owen's is drawing on his personal experinces as frontline soilder in WW1 to express fear and trauma in his literay work.
Christinia Rosseti wrote the poem "Goblin Market" on April 1859, during the Victorian era. In this timeline I will discuss the shaping of the poem and how it reflects on the theme of sexual temptation and fallen women.
In this timeline, I am going to look at the contextual/ historical factors of World War 1 and how this relates to the literature of the poet Wilfred Owen and his war experiences.
