From “The Lady of Shalott” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed; On burnish’d hooves his war horse trode; From underneath his helmet flowed His coal-black curls as on he rode, As he rode down to Camelot. From the bank and from the river He flashed into the crystal mirror, “Tirra lirra,” by the river Sang Sir Lancelot.
What does the character of Sir Lancelot represent?

He represents nature, whereas the Lady of Shalott represents the unnatural.

He represents the promise of youth in contrast to the Lady of Shalott’s great age.

A soldier, he represents a violent threat to the Lady of Shalott’s peaceful world.

He represents the life and love that the Lady of Shalott has not had.
