	The Lady of Shalott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Lady of Shalott" is a romantic poem by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892).
		The Lady of Tennyson's poem lives in a tower on the island of Shalott, in a river near Camelot.
		Some consider "The Lady of Shalott" to be representative of the dilemma that faces artists, writers, and musicians: to create work about and celebrating the world, or to enjoy the world by simply living in it.

		The lady, obliged to be satisfied with that courtesy, presented him her scarf to be worn at the tournament.
		The health and strength of the Lady of Shalott had gradually sunk, and she felt that she could not live apart from the object of her affections.
		The king immediately gave orders for the interment of the lady with all the honors suited to her rank, at the same time explaining to the knights the history of her affection for Launcelot, which moved the compassion and regret of all.

	Enjoying "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Tennyson
		The Lady of Shalott is a magical being who lives alone on an island upstream from King Arthur's Camelot.
		The story of the Lady of Shalott is a version of "Elaine the fair maid of Astolat", from Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur.
		Obviously the Lady looking at the world in a mirror and depicting it in a work of art is some kind of allegory for the life of the artist-writer.

	The Lady Of Shalott
		Launcelot wore on his crest the scarf of the maid of Shalott, and proceeded to the tournament, where the knights were in two companies, the one commanded by Sir Galehaut, the other by King Arthur.
		The king immediately gave orders for the interment of the lady, with all the honors suited to her rank and explained to the knights, her affection for Launcelot, which moved the compassion and regret of all.
		The story of "Elaine, the fair, Elaine, the lovable, Elaine, the lily-maid of Astolat," one of the earliest of the "Idylls of the King," is of course the same tale as the Lady of Shalott.

	"The Lady of Shalott"
		From this activity the Lady is separated, and the curse, the mirror, the unending weaving suggest that she is in fact buried alive, excluded from the sorrows and joys of human life.
		Nevertheless, the pull of human ties induces the Lady to defy the curse, and as she looks out of the window, she sees the blooming lily, the helmet, and the plume, symbols of nature, heroic glory, and love.
		As a weaver, the Lady is a dedicated artist, working night and day, but her seclusion, while it enables her to create a magical and beautiful web, prohibits her from active involvement with humanity.

	SparkNotes: Tennyson's Poetry: "The Lady of Shalott"
		The Lady of Shalott wears a snowy white robe and sings her last song as she sails down to Camelot.
		The Lady, who weaves her magic web and sings her song in a remote tower, can be seen to represent the contemplative artist isolated from the bustle and activity of daily life.
		The intensification of the Lady's experiences in this part of the poem is marked by the shift from the static, descriptive present tense of Parts I and II to the dynamic, active past of Parts III and IV.

	The Lady of Shalott
		Shalott could muster a powerful force against us, in which case you would be no better off; especially if my reputation forsakes me and you are returned to their lands.” Gazing incidentally from an angle, Pendragon suddenly felt a bolt of over-bearing sympathy for her, and his contradicting facial expression was exaggerated.
		The messenger from Shalott took several days to reach the borders of Camelot, and when he did, he was not given the warmest welcome.
		Both of the other men in the room frowned at the lady, knowing that the bolt of feeling that had hit Lancelot the night before was actually a specific curse and not an accidental action caused by his own foolish curiosity.

	Close Reading Example: "The Lady of Shalott"
		Shalott is surrounded by lilies, the flower of innocence and death.
		The lady is definitely ripe for a change from her routine: it just takes a "tirra lirra" from the right guy to make her go crazy for him.
		The irony is that the Lady spent much of her life seeing only reflections in a mirror, rather than the things themselves, so she was not much of a "seer" at all.

		Piling the sheaves in furrows airy, Beneath the moon, the reaper weary Listening whispers, "'tis the fairy, Lady of Shalott." The little isle is all inrailed With a rose-fence, and overtrailed With roses: by the marge unhailed 30 The shallop flitteth silkensailed, Skimming down to Camelot.
		A longdrawn carol, mournful, holy, She chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her eyes were darkened wholly, And her smooth face sharpened slowly Turned to towered Camelot: For ere she reached upon the tide The first house by the waterside, 160 Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Shalott.

	Comparing between Freedom and Lady of Shalott
		By looking over the Lady of Shalott we cannot only see that it is long but also that it is split up into parts.
		We expect the poem to be noble by the length and layout as it is kept consistent throughout the poem also by the vocabulary used.
		This is clever because the Lady of Shalott and Sir Lancelot are both main characters.

	The Lady of Shalott
		"Several dozen other depictions of the Lady of Shalott might be cited, but the striking aspect of those ladies illustrated here is their powerful imagery of confinement and bondage, presaged by the poem in its tale of solitary seclusion, but strongly emphasized by the artists.
		The enclosed rooms in which these ladies live, looking out on inviting sunlit landscapes, and the tangled threads binding their vigorous limbs, are surely metaphors of woman's condition, signifying the docile, passive, reflective and domestic role that dominated Victorian ideas of femininity.
		The lady cannot break from her constraints: her gesture of independence provokes the curse.

		Living her relatively sheltered life, one could say that the Lady of Shalott reflected death quite a bit, and the means, but I do not know the tale as thoroughly, from what it sounds, as you.
		In an instant The Lady of Shallot loses her heart to him..she leaves the web and the loom and in a few glancing moments, she sees everything plainly, that previously had only been reflections.
		I see your point, and agree, that the Lady of Shalott most likely, instinctively, knew of her approaching death, due to not obeying the strict rules on her.

	Teresa Wentzler - Lady of Shalott
		Description: A scene from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott", the story of a beautiful lady who could only view the outside world through the reflections in a large mirror, and who wove those sights into colorful tapestry.
		One fateful day, the lady chose to ignore the mirror and turned instead to her window, and looked out to see Sir Lancelot and Camelot, thus bringing upon herself the mirror's curse (of death).
		Background Information: The catalyst for this design was "The Lady of Shalott", as sung by Loreena McKennitt (from her CD "The Visit"), a truly beautiful version of Tennyson's poem.

		In the stormy east-wind straining The pale yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining, Heavily the low sky raining Over towered Camelot; Down she came and found a boat Beneath a willow left afloat, And round about the prow she wrote, The Lady of Shalott.
		Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right- The leaves upon her falling light- Thro' the noises of the night She floated down to Camelot: And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott.
