which line marks climax of tennyson poem The lady of shallot
Answers
Answer:
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.
In this powerful climax Tennyson focuses the action exclusively on the Lady of Shalott. He uses the word "she" six times in five lines. And, more importantly, it is the first time in the poem the Lady of Shalott moves: she walks across the room to the window. The web of shadows she weaves flies out the window and the mirror through which she watches the outside world cracks "from side to side", signaling the unleashing of the curse.
