Waterhouse captures the point at which the Lady of Shalott is floating down the river just before her death. She leaves her tower, knowing that it is her fate to die, and travels down the river to Camelot. The mirror cracks and the curse comes into effect. One day she watches the knight Lancelot ride by and struck by love looks out the window at him. ![]() She can only watch the outside world from a mirror, and weaves the scenes she sees in tapestries. This poem was written in 1833 and is based on tales from Arthurian Legend, focusing on the plight of Elaine of Astolat, a woman confined to a tower under a curse. Tennyson lived in Victorian Britain from 1809 until his death in 1892. Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott is based on the poem of the same name by the poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson. ![]() ![]() ![]() Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.Įach of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over.
