Read this excerpt from "the lady of shalott" by alfred, lord tennyson. in what way is the lady of shalott symbolic of an artist such as a poet?

thus truth was multiplied on truth, the world
like one great garden show'd,
and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd,
rare sunrise flow'd.
and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise
her beautiful bold brow,
when rites and forms before his burning eyes
melted like snow.
there was no blood upon her maiden robes
sunn'd by those orient skies;
but round about the circles of the globes
of her keen eyes
and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
wisdom, a name to shake
all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.
and when she spake,
her words did gather thunder as they ran,
and as the lightning to the thunder
which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
making earth wonder,
so was their meaning to her words.
no sword
of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word
she shook the world.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
