influences not only physical inactivity but also emotional detachment It numbs the sailors' senses and emotions It creates a barrier between them and the harsh realities of their lives Tennyson portrays this emotional numbness vividly And deep-asleep he seem'd yet all awake This detachment makes them appear as though they are sleepwalking through life This disconnection from the deep emotions challenges human existence Abandonment of Responsibilities The sailors consume the Lotos fruits They desire a permanent retreat from their duties and hardships It promotes a desire to leave their responsibilities They embrace a life of endless comfort and laziness They articulate their decision to stay on the island in such a way Then some one said 'We will return no more' This decision highlights their priority for the seductive comfort of the Lotos It causes tranquillity over the challenges and uncertainties of their former lives In conclusion Tennyson's portrayal of the Lotos plant in The Lotos-eaters highlights its profound effect on the sailors It draws them into a state of idle surrender and emotional detachment Through vivid imagery and lyrical language he explores the temptation to escape from life's hardships and responsibilities He warns against the dangers of forsaking ambition for transient comfort
