Answer:
In the poem “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath, the woman starts crying after seeing her reflection and realising that she has lost her youth, beauty and charm. In this poem, the mirror has been explained as one’s true reflection and the best critic. The poet personifies the mirror and acts as the narrator. Plath has personified the mirror as a lake. The woman when bends over this lake, sees her reflection and is dissatisfied. As it shows only the truth, the woman sees herself ageing and losing her beauty. It is this harsh truth that hurts her and is the reason why she cries.
