Why does th mirror say "i am silver"?

Answer 1

please mark as brainliest

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.

While "Sylvia" might sound a little bit like silver, we're pretty sure from this first-person declaration that Plath isn't the speaker in this poem. Instead, we have to think back to the title: what is silver and exact? Well, a mirror!We know mirrors don't talk – but that just makes us more curious about what this mirror is going to say.We know from looking at them that mirrors are silver and give an exact reflection of what is in front of them.The second part of the line is not so simple. This mirror is telling us it has no preconceptions. The mirror doesn't change what it shows you based on it's understanding of who you are, or whether you're having a bad day or a good day – it just shows what it sees. So, while this mirror may be personified in the poem, it doesn't, like most people, let what it has seen before affect what it does in the present.
