Paper Summary:
The author discusses how the sole function of a mirror is to show a reflection of the person looking into it. In this paper, he seeks to explain how the woman sees more than her physical self, she sees the time that has passed by her and how old she has become. This forces her to reflect on her years of suffering.From the Paper:
"Both the woman and the mirror live their life in darkness, both have only based their beliefs on appearances. The mirror believes its heart is the pink wall and the woman her reflection, her true self. Both the woman and the mirror are trying to find something deeper in themselves, something beyond appearances."More papers on "The Mirror" by Sylvia Plath:
