Stanza six continues in giving the readers a little insight into the character of the lady of Shalott. Now, much like the lady, we like to stay in our grey comfort zones, so we don’t care to try risking the peaceful routine with all that awaits us in our “Camelot”. The doubt that anything other than what we know to be real and true can also become a reality that is achievable if only we take the risk to try.
As humans we let doubt be the unknown curse that threatens to ruin our normalcy and ritualistic life. She was cursed with an unknown curse if she ever looked towards Camelot. Like the Lady of Shalott, we busy ourselves with weaving them in routine-like rituals, every single day. AnalysisĮvery individual has a web of thoughts and ideas that they are busy with on a daily basis. We are also told that she focuses her life on her weaving not giving anything around her care in the world, mainly because there is nothing else to keep her busy.
All she does know, however, is that she is not to look down from her towers, at Camelot (if she wants to be protected from this curse). She has been cursed with a curse she doesn’t know the consequences of. She is a woman who busies herself in weaving a “magic” colorful web. As we go through the poem, this stanza catches the first details of who the lady of Shalott is.
