How typical Alfred, Lord Tennyson's story is! A woman sacrifices her life for a man, and all he can think is, "Wow, she's pretty." Of course, if Lady Shalott had not been pretty, he probably wouldn't even have spared her a thought.
The question I have is, why did she risk it? Why does any woman risk it?
Why was Lady Shalott cursed, anyway?
The whole time I was reading this post I was thinking about Anne of Green Gables. I think that might be my very favourite scene in the first movie...and there are a LOT of good scenes.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were thinking the same thing I was! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI liked that scene, too. Wait-- which one? I liked the one where they tried to act the boat part out. I didn't like the scene where she was reading it and was late and her guardian died.
She had an excellent reading voice, though, didn't she?
Yeah, I was thinking about the acting out with the boat scene, too. She did have a great reading voice. I can hear it now.
ReplyDeleteMe, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I must say I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears voices in her head... ^_^
