Another interpretation of Goblin Market is one of redemption. The prevalence of this concept and of other Christian ideas is likely because Rossetti was a devout Christian, even rejecting marriage proposals on religious grounds.
The basic plot of the poem is debatably similar to the story of Christ; Lizzie undergoes a huge act of self-sacrifice as she "stood in deadly peril to do her good" and in turn Laura is afterwards restored - she "laughed in the innocent way" which shows that she is her old self once more, and her hair "showed not one thread of gray" which proves that she has overcome her premature ageing that was was caused by her sin of succumbing to temptation, suggesting that she had been forgiven and redeemed. This is much like Christ's self-sacrifice which lead to the redemption of humanity and forgiveness of their sins.
Furthermore, within the poem there is a strong allusion of baptism as Laura came from "life out of death" as an "innocent" girl again which suggests that past her sins had been cleansed and she was redeemed and reborn; she seems full of life as the "light danced in her eyes". Another point is that the fruit juice Lizzie was covered in could symbolise the wine drunk at the Eucharist; Jesus was supposed to have stated that unless his disciples drank his wine they would have no life in them, which draws a parallel with how Laura "awoke" and was reborn after she drank the juices from Lizzie.
