From this section of the poem, we learn that the Lady of Shalott is looking toward Camelot. This detail is conveyed through her actions as she leaves her tower and sets out on the boat toward the city. The painting may depict her in the boat, but it does not explicitly communicate her intention or direction toward Camelot.
The Lady of Shalott
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
PART IV
In the stormy east-wind straining
The pale yellow woods were waning.
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.
And down the rivers dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance— With a glassy countenance
What can you learn about the Lady of Shaloft from this section of the poem that is not conveyed in the painting?
(1 point)
O that the Lady of Shallot has red nair
that the Lady of Shalott had candles in her boat
why Sir Lancelot travels to Camelot
that the Lady of Shalott is looking toward Camelot
