The mirror cracked from side to side.

What if someone placed you in a room and told you you had to keep doing the same thing and you could never leave just to see if you'd believe them?

What if you did and nothing happened? What kind of threat would you be to them? Because if they're doing it to you then they're doing it to someone else in some other place.

I think the Lady of Shalott faked her death. I think she had to.

She was inspired by Elaine, but that's different than her being Elaine herself. Then again, out of all Arthurian characters I just don't like Elaine very much. But I do like the Lady. It seems though that if it were self-imposed she would know what the outcome of it would be.

As opposed to coming to learn it. That's true, I suppose. But if the curse was a metaphor for her choosing to stay, then the outcome as well could, conceivably, also be a metaphor.

Of course, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here and tossing around ideas :)
