| | Christabel-Crystal |
 | | Christabel is rhythmically written in iambic tetrameter lines, apart a couple of Alexandrine lines, which serve as resonant terminations (Ferguson,1108). |
 | | At the beginning of Christabel, the protagonist Crystal is painted, at full moon, in the forest, as a lovely lady praying for her betrothed lover, within medieval imagery. |
 | | Instead, Christabel is herein presented as Crystal because Crystals are made by God's nature; Geraldine is named Golden, because when something is golden, it has been touched, heated and battered by man. This essay does not present Geraldine-Golden as the devil himself, as has been done before, but rather as an enchantress. |
