This poem made me realized a lot of important things. I thought this story was talkin about people's temptation and death. I interpreted goblin as individuals' deep inside evil voice and forbidden fruit as their lust. If people saw something they want badly in front of them, for example mone, high social status etc, I bet they would hear evil voice from their deep inside of heart like "take it now!" Also, when individuals are fascinated too much by having all their desire in their hand, they would be corroded mentaly and physicaly. Moreover, they keep wanting some more until they die. Therefore, after I read this poem several times, I felt that this story was warning us about against temptation and telling us significance of good relationship between people whom you care about so much. It was beautiful story to see how two sisters love and support each other.
This story was one of my favorite poems which I have read in this class!

I am in Victorian Era in this week!
This week, I really enjoyed reading poems of Victorian period. I liked Elizabeth Browning's poem and Tennyson's " The woman's Cause is Man's" which taled about man and woman's relationship and love. Even these poem was written more than hundred years ago, peple can still share alike feeling and situation. I think it is great and that is the temptness of poetry.
Then, I had trouble with understanding Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" so I had to read over and over. This story had some ambiguous parts, so I had to think what each word mean and what he was trying to say. It was little hard but it was fun to creat own imagination and think people's thought in this period.
Matthew Arnold's "The Forsaken Merman" gave me negative impact about religion in this period. I felt same thing as Blake's "Garden of Love" too. So I wonder how people had different view as today and in that period.
As going through reading the English literature, I felt I need to learn much more background and history of those period.
I have never studied English literature before, so it is very interesting for me!!
I am ready to read new story of this week but I am not ready for the essay 2 yet....

It's all my first experiences!!
Fall, 2007!!
This semester, I am taking English Literature since 1800 online and it is my first time to study English literature and also it is my first time to take a class online. The third week will be gone and forth week is coming but I am still behind....
Now, I am reading Frankenstein and try to understand the story so hard. I realized that this story sounds very different than what I have hard about Frankenstein. I have not watched any movie or read a book of Frankenstein, so it already get me into the story to know the original story. It's going to be my challenge to finish my reading by today at midnight....
I hope I can make it.
Good night!
