    C. It shows her dissatisfaction with her situation

    The Lady of Shalott is cursed to have to watch the outside world through a mirror, only seeing the shadows of the people walking by outside. When she says 'I am half sick of shadows' she is referring to the fact that she is unhappy with her situation of only seeing their shadows, not actually seeing people.
