What is the meaning of the poem "La Belle Dame Sans Merci"?

Here's a really good essay about the poem.

Many decisions must be made by the reader on this one. There are many interesting but ambiguous details. In fact, we can't tell for sure who the belle dame of the title is. Does she even exist in reality or only in the knight's delusion?





Let your own imagination have free rein as you work on this one.





Best wishes!
