Question

Read these lines from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott.”

“Willows whiten, aspens quiver,/Little breezes dusk and shiver/Through the wave that runs forever/By the island in the river/Flowing down to Camelot…”

Toward whose home is the river flowing?
Beowulf
Grendel
The Wife of Bath
King Arthur

Answer 1

The river is flowing down to King Arthur's home because Camelot is the ancient castle where King Arthur lived with his knights of the round table.

Answer 2

The correct answer is King Arthur.

Lady of Shalott's tower is locared near Camelot, which is King Arthur's home, according to legends. This is the place where he lived with his wife Guinevere, and where he had meetings with his Knights of the Round Table.

Lady of Shalott was cursed so that she couldn't look at Camelot - once she did, she died.
