    The document summarizes questions about the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It asks about key elements of the plot, including that the Lady lives alone on an island cursed so that she can only see the outside world through a magic mirror. She is doomed once she sees Sir Lancelot in person and decides to leave her island, sailing down the river in a boat where she dies with a sad expression. Her boat floats into Camelot where people wonder who the mysterious dead woman is.
