Sylvia Plath’s “Mirror” is a poignant poem that explores themes of identity, self-perception, and the passage of time. Narrated from the perspective of a mirror, the poem conveys its unflinching objectivity as it reflects the truth without bias or distortion. It portrays the mirror as a silent observer of the speaker’s life, capturing the painful realities of aging and the search for self-understanding. Through vivid imagery and a tone of quiet introspection, Plath examines the tension between appearance and inner self, revealing the struggles of confronting one’s own image and mortality.
