What is the central idea of the poem Mirror?

1 Answer

  1. The intricate connection between one’s self and the outside environment is the main idea of the “Mirror.” Our idea of identity, according to Plath, is continually changing and is influenced by our experiences and perceptions rather than being a set concept. In its capacity as a symbol of reflection, the mirror draws attention to the conflict that exists between the inner and exterior selves as well as how our opinions of ourselves may be influenced or distorted by other forces. In the end, the poem makes the point that discovering one’s identity is a never-ending, sometimes difficult process and that self-awareness is a crucial part of developing one’s own identity.
