Reflection of The Lady of Shalott

            In fact, this story is extremely mysterious and weird. The reason is that the story never tells the readers why the curse falls on the Lady of Shalott. Moreover, how come such a pretty lady got imprisoned in the tower for such a long time and the only thing she can do is sewing the magic web. In addition, this story created a kind of romance that is different from other stories. For instance, when the Lady of Shalott found out the mirror has broken and the curse has fallen on her. She decided to ride a boat to Camelot. This result Sir Lancelot met the Shalott in the end. I believe the message that the writer tries to convey is Love is a magical and mysterious thing. It not only can make people fearless, but it also harms people. Also, if the Lady of Shalott does not believe in the curse, the whole story will probably be different.

Quick Talk

When I watch some Hollywood movies, I sometimes see parents tell bedtime stories to their children in the movie. Some of the stories could be knights saving Princess or something special about chivalry. People in modern days remain enchanted with stories of castles, knights, and thing in medieval times. I believe one of the reasons is that we admired their courage. For instance, knights have the bravery to fight enemies on the battlefield for their owners and honor. Another reason is that I think all these characters in the question can actually link together. For example, a knight could possibly go on quest to search his perfect lady in some special and mystery castle. However, he has to fight a dragon in order to reach his goal, which is saving the princess. In addition, all these things are not exist in modern days. That is also why people think they are rare and unique. Although they only live in the past, their spirits and absolute characteristics will last forever.
