The Lady of shallot



In order to begin with what characters have the values of caring and patience in the story of “The Lady of Shallot” we must know what the definition of these two very important values are. Lets start with the value of Patience. Patience is the ability to wait, or to continue doing something despite difficulties, or to suffer without complaining or becoming annoyed. It is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Caring is when you show or feel kindness, appreciation, concern, or worry towards someone or something. When you care it makes the other person feel special. Now i believe that in the story, the lady of Shallot’s character has the value of patience until a  point in the story. But she does not show the value of care even though sir Lancelot shows that he cares throughout the ending of this story. The lady of Shallot suffers a lot in the tower she was imprisoned in. She is kept in there for a long time doing nothing else rather than weaving a magical web with colours all day long. She was cursed, she could not look into the outside world or the mysterious curse that was put on her would be activated. She used to look and be updated on what was happening outside by a mirror that reflects everything. Other than that there was no other way, she could not look directly into the real life. She did not know what consequences the curse brought onto her. For me, the lady of shallot had a lot of patience throughout the story until one day she could not handle it anymore. Her curiosity came in the way and she had to look outside onto the real life world; and the cause of her action was a man named sir Lancelot. The moment this man passed by she was captivated by him and his charm. He rode a horse on his way down the river and since the lady of shallot wanted to experience something real, she looked directly into Camelot, a place near the island of Shallot. And the mysterious curse happened, the mirror broke and the magical web she was weaving flew onto thin air and left the window. She ran outside with no care in the world and got into a boat. At this moment it is why i mentioned that she is not caring because she knew that the consequences to her action were big but went on with it anyway. She wore a lo g white dress as she rowed down the river until she froze dead. The weather was very stormy and windy that she could not handle it. Sir lancelot came to find out what happened, he got closer to see who the woman laying there in the boat was and found the lady of shallot lying there without a sound. He showed care when he stopped what he was doing to help the woman only to come and find out she was dead.
