Reflection on Lady of Shalott

In my own opinion, Lady Shalott is a tragic character just like Macbeth. Although there is no background information about how she got cursed and how she was kept in the tower, she has a big impact toward the whole story. Her curiosity would probably be the most crucial point that causes her death. When she realized that the mirror was broken while she ran out to Comlet, she knew it could’ve been her last breathe. Therefore, her tragic destiny has been fixed no matter how hard she tried to avoid it.

Discuss why you think people remain enchanted with stories of castles, knights, quests, dragons, and ancient times.

Based on the cultural background, the spirit of knights, especially the ones on the round table, has lasted forever in our life. In fact, such a cultural background has been distilled into the way today's military tries to follow. The spirit of sacrifice and dedication either to a sports team or some other groups like military is the product from the ancient society of respect to knights. The honor and pleasure of being a knight, or a warrior, could never be described by words.
