8. read these lines from alfred, lord tennyson’s “the lady of shalott.” “on either side the river lie/long fields of barley and of rye,/that clothe the wold and meet the sky;/and through the field the road runs by/to many­towered camelot…” to whose home does the road lead?

Camelot was King Arthur's castle and the capital of his legendary kingdom. The Lady of Shalott is a young noble woman who lives secluded in an island, imprisoned in a tower that lies by a river that flows to Camelot. She suffers from an strange curse that prevents her from looking directly down to Camelot; instead, she has to weave images on her loom and look at a mirror that reflects the road that passes by her island and that leads to Camelot, always busy with all sorts of people. But one day she spots one of King Arthur's knights, Lancelot, as he is riding down his horse from Camelot, and she finally "looks down" to Camelot. She then realizes that the curse has come upon her, and decides to leave her prison and head to Camelot in a boat, but sadly she dies right before reaching her longed-for destination.
