What is close to our comfort zone and very attractive to us? Our most desired and most ambitious goals. In this specific stanza, we are told he was very close to Shalott and very attractive in his appearance. Three out of four of the stanzas in this section are spent just describing Lancelot this highlights his importance and significance in the poem. He is a famous knight as most know, from around King Arthur’s table. Part three of Tennyson’s poem is mostly all about the second character, Sir Lancelot. The narrator is not shy about reminding us that he was near “remote Shalott”, emphasizing the obvious difference between him, and Shalott. He is described as “bold” and has a picture of a knight kneeling before his lady on his shield. He enters the story by riding through the barley fields, with his armor “dazzling” in the sun, quite close to where the Lady resides. Here, begins part three of this poem, and the scene changes to introduce a second character: Sir Lancelot.
