I believe that the "Mirror" is about Ted Hughes representing the mirror and
Sylvia Plath herself as the woman. He's not "cruel, only truthful--" and
powerful over her "the eye of a little god, four-cornered". He does not
wish to become closer to her, merely letting darkness and people come
between them. The lake has no big thing, only that it is equivalent, for
it reflects. Sylvia is the woman, giving up her past and her future for
him. Oh, how I luv symbolism! (Yes, I know I am that UK nerd...)

lance bass - just because you're a professor don't think you know
everything! i believe it's about her experience in the psychiatric
hospital. the woman she refers to is her mother - "she rewards me with
tears and an agitation of hands. i am important to her, she comes and goes"
read the bell jar and you will see :)

If you think about it, at one point or another, haven't we felt this way;
just like the mirror or the woman. You know that Sylvia is not talking
about a mirror, but maybe about herself of as someone else said, her
husband. But why take this poem and analyze it? Why not look at it and say,
'wow, that really can relate to me'. Isn't that what poems are for? Haven't
you ever felt that way?

I think this poem is great I have never read a poem that touched me. I
think it is great that we all read the same thoughts of someone who is
passed so long and interpret it so differently...i wonder what she intended
us to think. I just know it meant a lot to me and I hope she is happy where
she is now:)

I believe she was feeling the effects all women feel going from gorgious
twenties two thirties loosing the attention of the room when entering it.
And dealing with that.

This poem is about whatever reaction it had on the reader. For your
reports, talk about your personal reaction along with some facts, because
poetry isn't just about whatever the professor thinks (lance bass).

I liked this poem very much because I never thought in the view of a
mirror.
This poem is just simply great and I have a great respect towards the poet
who had written this poem.
