Plot and Narrative Structure MacDonald’s tale follows Princess Irene, a lonely child raised in a remote castle, and Curdie, a brave miner’s son who discovers a subterranean goblin society plotting to kidnap the princess. The novel alternates between scenes of courtly seclusion and the claustrophobic workings of goblin plots, yielding a rhythm of aboveground innocence and belowground menace. A framing omniscient narrator provides moral commentary and occasional direct addresses to the reader, lending the story a parable-like quality. Key episodes include Irene’s discovery of the mysterious great-great-grandmother and her ring, Curdie’s infiltration of the goblin realm, and the climactic rescue that combines cleverness, obedience to unseen guidance, and moral courage.
