Show transcript
The Lady of Shalott is a cursed woman who is confined to a tower on an island just outside Camelot.
The Lady of Shalott isn't allowed to look out of the tower's window, but sees the outside through a mirror's reflection.
The Lady of Shalott must weave these reflections into a cloth; if she stops weaving, something terrible will happen.
One day she looks out of the window in order to see Sir Lancelot.
The curse comes upon her and she dies, found in a boat drifting toward Camelot.
