Final answer:

In the end, Tam Lin willingly sacrifices himself to save his love, Janet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story of Tam Lin, Tam willingly sacrifices himself to save his love, Janet.

According to the legend, Tam Lin is a mortal man who is captured by the Queen of the Fairies and held captive in a forest.

He is destined to be sacrificed to the Fairies unless someone rescues him on Halloween night.

Janet, who has fallen in love with Tam, goes to the forest on Halloween and manages to hold onto him as he goes through a series of transformations by the Fairies.

Eventually, the Queen asks Tam to willingly sacrifice himself, and he agrees to save Janet.

So in the end, Tam Lin willingly dies to break the curse and save his love.
