>Some critics believe that some feminist interpretations of the work ignore an anti-semitic aspect of the poem. The critic Cynthia Schlomeberg believes the Goblins to be "Hebraic", anti-semitic and anti-Judaic characters that the tested Christian sisters Laura and Lizzie must face in order to transition into wholesome and complete young women. And that the themes of resisting temptation and overcoming evil are inherently antisemitic.
Or do you want context?
The context is that it is an old school fairy tale. Goblin market.
