Doctor Who (4.10) Midnight Episode Number: 53 Season Num: 4 First Aired: Saturday June 14, 20 Christina Rossetti was a nineteenth century English poet from a prominent artistic family who wrote the “Goblin Market.” The tripartite female is clearly portrayed in Goblin Market. All three women--Laura, Lizzie, and Jeanie--are maidens. Dee Dee: 'We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy their fruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed, their hungry thirsty roots?' The Doctor: Actually, I don't think that's helping. Professor Hobbes: She's not a goblin or a monster. She's just a very sick woman. Jethro: Maybe that's why it went for her. Professor Hobbes: There is no it! This is a quote from Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). Originally written in 1859 and published in 1862, Rossetti claimed it was a children's poem, despite some heavy sexual imagery. It tells of the temptation of two sisters to try the Goblin merchants' fruit. http://www.csulb.edu/~csnider/c.rossetti.html http://www.popsyndicate.com/site/story/doctor_who_410_midnight http://www.tv.com/doctor-who-2005/midnight/episode/1197315/summary.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblin_Market Aug 02 08, 2:46 PM
