... Compare 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes to Lord Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott'. Which poem do you prefer and why? In this essay, I intend to examine the storylines, themes and language of 'The Highwayman' and 'The Lady of Shalott' and then explain why I think that one of the poems is more powerful than the other one.

'The Lady of Shalott' is a mysterious poem set in the mythical time of legend Camelot. It is also a tragic love story in which the Lady of Shalott, who is cursed to stay in her tower and not look out of the window, dies for her love because she looks out of the window at Sir Lancelot.
