        <description><![CDATA[acessteacher is correct in that there are definitely elements of tragedy in The Lady of Shallot, and that tragedy is not necessarily the defining characteristic of the Ballad form.
However, it is by no means the case that all Ballads are sung. The 'Literary Ballad' was popularised in late C18th Germany with works such as Burger's "Lenor" (1774). These Ballads were poems that imitated the traditional Ballad form, but were never intended to be...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am glad you asked this question because I really like this poem.  The reality is that the reader is never given an explanation as to why the woman is under the curse.  It simply states:

She knows not what the curse may be,

That's part of the beauty of this particular poem.  We don't know why she is cursed, and really, she doesn't know what will happen if she breaks the curse.  It only comes about when she sees Lancelot and decides to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The first section of Alfred Lord Tennyson's  poem "The Lady of Shalott" (1832 and 1842) describes very vividly the natural surroundings of the castle on "the island of Shalott" in which the Lady of Shalott has been shut up for the rest of her life.
The island is in the midst of a river which flows down  to the town of Camelot.  The 1832 version describes the bright and beautiful flowers surrounding the castle:

        <description><![CDATA[The most common form of imagery in this poem is visual imagery, where the words in the poem invoke images in your mind that you can visualize, for example.

"On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky;" (Tennyson)
"This poem starts off by giving a visual overview of the situation. The reader is shown the river and the road, and, far in the distance, the towers of Camelot."

It is easy...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Rejected by Sir Lancelot, whom she pined for, the Lady of Shalott took a boat down the river to her death. The poem describes her finding a boat, inscribing her name on it, lying down in it, and singing mourfully as she floated down the river to her death: ". . .a carol, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darkened wholly, Turn'd to tower'd Camelot. For ere she reach'd upon the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[To further the discussion, I will explain my answer! Since the poem is written in third person, it is not the Lady who describes Lancelot; it is the narrator's description we are given in Part III. Lancelot does come into view--not hers, but ours--as he is introduced into this part of the story. Finally, the question asked how the description of him made him seem like a vision, not how her circumstances would have contributed to that. The way...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[According to the reference on Linguistics, the definition of an allegory is:

"An allegory is an extended metaphor, especially a story in which fictional characters and actions are used to understand and express aspects of concepts relating to human existence."

Based on this definition, "The Lady of Shallot" relates to the lives of women in the Victorian period, the restrictions that were placed on them, the lack of choices they had and the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Intersecting themes in the two works deal with the rights of women in Victorian society, male domination in society and how they set the rules and expectations for women.  
Aurora Leigh is a champion who redefines a woman's existence by deciding to stay unmarried and devote herself to her writing believing that to be a great poet she must surrender herself totally to the work, she shuns the idea of romance in favor of the solitude required by...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The lady in The Lady of Shallott, symbolically represents the conditions that existed in society that controlled the lives of Victorian women. As sons were gaining more freedom in upper class families, daughters were still considered possessions to be guarded and controlled by the Victorian family which was ruled by men, fathers, uncles, grandfathers, or male guardians who made all decisions for young women.  The imprisonment in the tower...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The captive lady who must remain in the tower due to a curse put upon her, is not permitted to look directly at the outside world.  To compensate for this she views the world through a mirror which provides images that she matches to the sounds she hears outside the walls that imprison her.
The description of Sir Lancelot has to be a vision or created by the lady's imagination because she cannot look at him directly as he passes outside her...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The long description of Lancelot in Part III of the poem creates a vision through its imagery of light. As he rides into view, Lancelot is bathed in light. The sun comes "dazzling through the leaves" and falls in flames upon Lancelot's armor. His horse's bridle is "gemmy." It glitters "[l]ike to some branch of stars." The sun blazes on the sash across his chest and the silver bugle hanging from it. The jeweled leather of his saddle shines, as...]]></description>
