That is, the poet has given the mirror a first-person voice. She is used to looking at herself in the mirror. Just as whatever falls on the surface of the lake is drowned in it, the mirror also swallows whatever falls on its surface. Darkness and individuals standing between me and wall block my view and we are separated from each other whenever such an interruption occurs. Like God it watches us fairly without any bias from all the four angles. Together with unusual syntax, no obvious rhyme or meter and an astute use of enjambment, "Mirror" is a personification poem of great depth.This poem is all about appearances and the search for the self. It is not cruel and is unbiased like the God’s eyes. It is a compelling work of art, and a remarkable piece of literature. It does not hide, Besides, in the same stanza, the mirror has also been described as ‘unmisted’ because it is ‘clear’, ‘objective’, ‘dispassionate’ and ‘unprejudiced’ in reflecting what it sees. A woman looks into the mirror to ascertain her beauty. This reveals her to be a woman of weak and vain character whose life becomes miserable because she cannot accept the reality.Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.Despite being disappointed at the sight of her ageing reflection, she cannot give up.
ii. She is searching the depths in order to get back her past image, that of a young and beautiful girl but it no longer exists.Q: How does the narrator convey the fact that the woman looking at her reflection in the lake is deeply distressed?A: The poet conveys the woman’s distress by saying that she has tears in her eyes and she waves her hands in agitation.A: When the woman looks at herself in the mirror, she sees changes in her appearance due to advancing age.

Sylvia Plath was living in England with her fellow poet and husband, Ted Hughes, and she had already given birth to their first child, Frieda.This was a stressful time for Plath. they hide the blemishes of people with their soft lightthey hide the blemishes and make people look beautiful in their soft glowWhy does she turn to them in spite of calling them 'liars'? Now her old and wrinkled face emerges. Why does the speaker say, “I am not cruel” (line 4)? And at the start of the second stanza (While it is impossible to say exactly why Plath wrote "Mirror," there's no reason to believe her motive for writing this poem was any different from that of her other poems: to express abstract emotions and a state of mind that cannot easily be captured in prose.While "Mirror," written in 1961, just two years before the poet's suicide, likely contains many autobiographical elements that have to do with her difficult life, the poem has merit beyond a mere confessional. Why does Plath describe the wall as part of her heart? The mirror says that this feeling of the mirror that the opposite wall is a part of itself gets interrupted whenever a face or darkness comes in between them.
