"The Lady of Shalott" tells the story of a mysterious woman cursed to live in isolation on the island of Shalott. She weaves a magical tapestry, observing the world outside through a mirror, never directly engaging with it. Her life changes when she glimpses the heroic Sir Lancelot through the mirror. Enchanted by his beauty, she defies the curse and looks directly at him, causing her tapestry to unravel. Stricken by the curse, she leaves her tower, finds a boat, and floats down the river to Camelot, where she ultimately meets her tragic fate. The poem explores themes of love, isolation, and the struggle between art and life. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
