Alfred Lord Tennyson

Background “The Lady of Shalott” – Tennyson used the King Arthur legends as a basis for the story Some critics believe the poem is a reflection of Tennyson’s own life as a poet (Starving artist idea)

Sir Lancelot

What was Camelot?  Camelot was the great castle of King Arthur. Camelot was the seat of power in Britain, where inside a council was established. Arthur and his knights who presided over the council were called Knights of the Round Table. Camelot symbolized the Golden Age of Chivalry.

Camelot

While reading:  With a highlighter, highlight all references to color  Underline examples of imagery (appealing to the senses)

Color Symbolism in Western Literature

Symbolism  Colors are symbolic of mood – dark to light to dark – Also reflects the highs and lows of the plot  2nd stanza – “Four gray walls, and four gray towers,”  18th stanza – “Dead-pale”

Analyze: Identify examples of the following  What type of poetry?  Rhyme Scheme for first two stanzas – Does it repeat in every stanza?  Assonance (at least 2 examples)  Alliteration (at least 2 examples)  Metaphor(s)? – Extended metaphor?  Personification  Imagery – colors, sounds etc.  Theme

Questions for thought  Is “The Lady of Shalott” a tragic poem?  Written in which verse?  What is unrequited love?

Theme  Write a one sentence summary summarizing the theme within “The Lady of Shalott.”  How is this like“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” and “The Peace of Wild Things?”  How is it different?

Other Symbolism  The island – isolation and loneliness “remote Shalott” (81).  The mirror – isolation The lady sees the world, but she cannot interact with it. “Shadows of the world appear” (48).

Extended Metaphor The term extended metaphor refers to a comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem. It is often comprised of more than one sentence and sometimes consists of a full paragraph.metaphorcomparison

Extended Metaphor – example “Bobby Holloway says my imagination is a three-hundred-ring circus. Currently I was in ring two hundred and ninety-nine, with elephants dancing and clowns cart wheeling and tigers leaping through rings of fire. The time had come to step back, leave the main tent, go buy some popcorn and a Coke, bliss out, cool down.” (Dean Koontz, Seize the Night. Bantam, 1999)

SOS Summary  Statement  Opinion  Support STATEMENT: Tennyson’s use of symbolism shows he does not possess a feminist point of view.
