Question

from "The Lady of Shalott"
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Answer 1

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 river's dim expanse—
Like some bold seër in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance—
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right—
The leaves upon her falling light—
Thro' the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Answer 2

Based on the details provided in the poem, the painting most likely portrays the

reason for the lady’s journey

beginning of the lady’s journey

destination of the lady’s journey

end of the lady’s journey

Answer 3

@bubbles-are-cool. I think It is Choice C or A. I am not sure though!?

Answer 4

Or B because they said they heard her singing her last song. So, she could be leaving where she lived beginning her journey. This question is confusing me lol

Answer 5

Actually i read the summary and its the end of her journey

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yeah it turns out shes cursed and shes not allowed to see the real world so when she gets on the boat she dies before getting to the palace..

Answer 11

Answer 12

sure ill try

Answer 13

Stanza 2
And down the river's dim expanse—
Like some bold seër in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance—
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,

This is based of the same picture.

The scenes depicted in this stanza from the poem and in the painting are

different because the painting does not provide information about the lady and the poem does

different because the poem focuses on the setting and the painting focuses on the lady

similar because they both focus on the setting

similar because they both provide details about the lady

Answer 14

is stanza 2 on the picture or the poem?

Answer 15

I think It is like an added part to the poem I guess you could say @bubbles-are-cool.

Answer 16

okay then i think it would be A because the poem gives background information and the picture just shows the lady at the end of her journey.

Answer 17

Alright that makes more sense because I was thinking C at first. Thanks. @bubbles-are-cool.

Answer 18

Answer 19
