There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,

She defied a curse of her own free will. A lot of Romantic poets have that as a theme, especially for women. The Lady of Shallot made her own choice, maybe the only act she ever did for herself. She was ready for what came next, I think. All those stuffy scholars can say what they want.
