Plath was an unhappy poet who often wrote poems that showed the negative view of life. In the

end she ended up killing herself by placing her head inside an oven while it was on.

In the first stanza she says the mirror gives off a perfect reflection 'I am silver and exact'.

Just as is, 'unmisted by love or dislike'. She explains how the mirror meditates on the opposite wall

which means that it is always facing a wall. She say it flickers that is from people walking in front

of the mirror and cutting off the mirror sight to the wall. The poem needs little translation in the first

stanza it is almost word for word. The mirror is

experience. I believe that Sylvia was special and that is why she was able to write such amazing

she described the moon and candle light as liars? I figured out that it is because in moon or candle

deceitful. She uses God in the poem to say that God is perfect and so to is the image reflected in the

but truthful. In another one of her poems 'Metaphors' she describes the process of being pregnant
