The Princess and the Goblin: World Levels

While we were discussing the book The Princess and the Goblin in class on Friday I found it surprising that it was written from such a spiritual point of view. I did not know that MacDonald was so religious and felt so strongly about God. I find the parallel with the "levels" of the worlds in the book and the real world very interesing. I see the "Goblin's" world which is full of darkness and evil alot like hell. Also, the fact that the Goblins are so infatuated with fire and the bible talks alot about a "fiery hell" is ironic. I read the second half of this book knowing more about the spirituality issues within it and i enjoyed it alot more than the first half.
