Reflection on the lady of shalott

Reflection of the lady of shalott
I think the lady of shalott is a very strange but sad poem because of it's setting and plot. it's about a lady who's stuck in a tower, which the story may symbolize the restriction to the women at the time. It's also a little ironic toward the end when Sir Lancelot sees Lady Shalott's face and said its beautiful. Lady shalott dies because of Sir Lancelot but he has no idea about the cause of her death. The whole story is like a response to women's rights at the time that women were not allowed to do many things. When they thought they gained freedom, they were actually still limited
