ESSAY N. 3
Values patience
and caring applied to The Lady Of Shalott.
First of all to understand this story we need to have clear and
know the meaning of these values.
Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay,
problems, or suffering without becomming annoyed or anxious.
Caring is displaying kindness and concern for others.
This story is about the lady of Shalott that is trapped in a tower that is located in
Camelot for a long time, so here is were the value patience takes place because
she stayed there all day and all night without doing anything but also she had
a curse which consisted in not being able to see through the window because she
will die so it was very uncomfortable because first she was alone in that place
and second she couldn´t admire how pretty was that city or also she cannot see
anyone, but instead of this critical situation she was a warrior and knew how to
control herself overcoming the desire of looking out of the window. The only
way she could look at Camelot was through a mirror because it was an object and
not the eyes directly.
She fell in love with a man that is called sr Lancelot but
he didn´t show the same feeling to her instead she tried to do everything to
get closer to him but nothing happened. So this is also a demostration of
patience because although he did not like her she doesn´t give up for obtain
his love. One day she got very stressed and bored so she decided to leave the
tower where she was trapped and also to break the curse no matter what so she
looked all the things that were on the other side and took a boat, then she
crossed the river to see sr. Lancelot but i think that the other value that is caring wasn´t present in this part
because you can´t place another person above you and more when this person does
not take you into account, that´s for me a way to lose your dignity. Later during
the trip between Camelot while she was dying sr. Lancelot saw her and saw what
she did and all the risks she took only for see him, he began to change the way
he saw her and in that moment he began to love her, started to caring her and
appreciate all her beauty but it was too late because by the curse she had she
died. So all what she fight for now were without sense because she ended dead
and couldn´t see that sr. Lancelot finished in love with her and finally saw
her beauty and decided to take care of her during his whole life.
Well in conclusion we can see that both values caring and
patience were presented in the lady of shalott and have relationship with every
thing that showed up in the story and also with every thing that the characters
did in this story.
