Mirror’ is a reflective poem. The mirror reflects the life of human beings in all its reality. Its reflection is neither twisted nor distorted. It describes the true nature of things. It has no preconceptions and personal likes or dislikes and gives an exact image of what comes before it. It is not affected by any feelings of love or hatred. In this modem era, everyone is living under an illusion. Everyone feels like the woman who looks into the mirror which is a lake for her, feels like a fish out of water and is not prepared to accept the reality of advancing age. Old age or ugliness is a hard and cruel fact that can’t be escaped. Here the idea and the message of ageing is conveyed through the poem by the poet Sylvia Plath.(this lesson)
