THE HOME AS EMBLEM OF WOMEN ENSNAREMENT IN ALFRED LORD TENNYSON’S MARIANA AND THE LADY OF SHALOTT

Abstract

The representation of home has remained in the forefront of studies from different periods in Western literature. When Victorian literature is considered, the poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson stands out as it provides a fertile ground for the exploration of meanings home takes on to a serious extent. Two of his well-known poems, Mariana and The Lady of Shalott, can be regarded as illustrative of Victorian attitude toward women ensnarement through the symbol of home. More specifically, what makes the study of these poems somewhat special is that they enable contemporary readers to think critically about the ways in which home bears witness to traumatization of women by patriarchal restrictions. Therefore, this article will mainly show that home symbol in the selected poems is an essential component of a realistic representation of the status of women of the poet’s time thereby positing patriarchy as an unfair configuration of Victorian society.
