"The Lady of Shalott" highlights what happens when women step outside of their "zone." The Lady of Shalott is a weaver who weaves infront of a mirror and notices an image of Sir Lancelot in the mirror. She turns around, which leads to her death. This can be interpreted as temptation of sexuality and women's desire, which are characteristics not associated with women in the Victorian era.
