Is there an explanation of the poem that can account for Laura's inability to renew her experience in the goblin market?

How is Lizzie able to resist the goblins while Jeanie & Laura succumbed?

Why does Laura kiss Lizzie with a "hungry mouth," then loathe "the feast" (ll. 492 & 495, p. 157)?

What was the "bitterness without a name" that Laura "gorged on" (l. 510, p. 158)?

Why are we told so much about Lizzie & Laura's hair?

Was Laura right to tell this story to her young children (ll. 552 ff., p. 160)?
