(42 marks) Through the three texts ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci’‚ ‘Lamia’ and ‘The lady of Shalott’ by John Keats and Alfred Tennyson respectively‚ we see the different representations of women; ranging from Keats’ hostile and misogynistic representation of women to Tennyson’s sympathetic yet somewhat limited representation of women.

The movie serves as a good representation on how this country has changed its way of thinking from the 50’s until the
