Paper Summary:

Although stylistically different, Ho and Plath have crafted two poems that speak about a woman's age and the "reflection" of their lives. This paper compares the way in which they address the issue of vanity in women and how this is overcome when one's focus in life changes.

From the Paper:

"One of the most interesting differences about these poems stems from the authors themselves. One a Chinese man of royal lineage and the other a modern day Caucasian woman known for her book The Bell Jar, both writing about perfection, age and women.

"The poems both contain no direct dialogue but can be described as dramatic poems based on the content. It is as if the poet is speaking directly to his/her audience."
