I think that Marxism in this poem is reflected as feminism and eroticism. My reason for this is because Rossetti shows how the Victorian values of feminine sexuality are explored throughout the poem, also I think that Victorian upper class men were represented by the goblins, and how they used and exploited the sisters.
The goblins are almost business men like as they are nice at first but however after they get what they want they aren't bothered anymore, as if they are con artists and have conned her into tasting the fruits and making lauren addicted to the fruits and after this has happened they ''vanished into the distance''. To me, this shows that they didn't care about Lizzie afterwards, by writing 'vanished' I think it shows that the goblins tried to get away as quickly as possible.
