Abstract

Tennyson's "The lady of shalott" is the story of an isolated woman who breaks free of her prison in order to enter the world around her. Through the use of vivid imagery and the strategic placement of words and phrases within the narrative structure of the poem, Tennyson builds a feeling of isolation and frustration within the lady as well as the reader. As Tennyson contrasts the isolated life of the lady of shalott with the energy and vibrancy of Camelot, his story becomes an excellent example of Keats' idea of soul making.

Key Words- Camelot, island of shalott, magic mirror, Soulmaking.
