The easy use of the railway is extremely evident in Mary Braddon’s, Lady Audley’s Secret. In this novel, Lucy is able to use the railway to move to a new city where no one knows her name or her past. She is able to use travel as a way to re-invent herself. The use of travel is also what helps her keep her secret. When needed to, she travels far to stay hidden from the character George. She also quickly runs to London to recover evidence from Robert’s apartment. She goes wherever she wants, usually alone, and no one thinks it weird or questions it.

Christina Rossetti’s poem “Goblin Market” is intriguing because of its endless ways of interpretation. One such take on the poem is how it reads as a cautionary tale for fallen women. For example, in “Goblin Market,” Laura ends up eating the goblin’s fruit and becomes a fallen woman. Eventually, this consumption of the fruit makes Laura deathly ill and Lizzie worries her sister will die if she doesn’t receive more fruit. To save her sister, Lizzie goes to the goblin men to pay for their fruit. However, the goblins don’t want her money.
