Lady of Shalott

Lady of Shallot is a poem about a woman who is cursed. Her curse restricts her from going out into the city of Camelot. The only way she can see Camelot is through a reflection of the city in a mirror, until one day she sees Sir Lancelot and is determined to go and find him amongst the city. On her journey in the river to find him she dies in the boat and as it reaches the city and the people do not recognize her, but Lancelot sees her whilst dead and thinks she is beautiful. This poem was a little hard to understand, although, that may be because I am not too fond of poems. Overall, the story within the poem was quite beautiful and sad at the same time.
