From “The Lady of Shalott” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson There she weaves by night and day A magic web with colors gay. She has heard
a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott. And moving through a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear. There she sees the highway near Winding down to Camelot: . . . And sometimes through the mirror blue The knights come riding two and two: How does the Lady of Shalott experience the outside world? She views the world through a window.
Knights from Camelot bring her news about the world.
She sees the world through reflections in her mirror.
The correct option is this: SHE SEES THE WORLD THROUGH REFLECTIONS IN HER MIRROR. From the excerpt given above, it can be seen that, The Lady of Shallot thought that a curse will be placed upon her if she dared looked down and observe the happenings around her. So instead, she has a mirror, that is placed in such a way that it can see what happen in the street, it is from this mirror that the Lady of Shallot observe what is happening around her.<span />
‘We told each other so much, so very very much, that I can’t repeat it all, but it was lovely, the most wonderful evening I have ever had in the "Secret Annex".’
I think the tone is that of disillusionment, disenchantment too.When two people have to separate, for one reason or other there is suffering and dissapointment.The feeling is universal and that is the tone the author conveys through his poem.It is the distance between a woman he once loved and himself he is grieving about.
