Reading The Lady of Shalott | Alexandria
Read The Lady of Shalott by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Haunting medieval damsels, Tennyson's iconic poem unveils isolation's dark seduction in our hyper-connected world. Through a cursed woman who only views life through mirrors, it eerily predicted our modern addiction to screens and virtual reality. Her fatal choice to embrace direct experience over safety speaks to our struggle between digital distance and authentic living.
