@Poetivity It also speaks how it cannot judge, yet calls the candles and moon liars and calls the old woman a terrible fish.

Middle age is hell. I'm working on a video that uses a little of Plath and found this. Nice.

Sylvia Plath Reads Arielby mishima1970139,665 views
This is a superior reading of a great Plath poem. Thank you!
However, I must disagree a little with the reader's explaination below. I think the mirror is completely honest. The mirror says things like it's the "eye of a little god" b/c the mirror is so important to the woman. The honesty of the mirror is the primary point of the poem. To me, the line about the wallpaper being the mirror's heart means it really has no heart; the mirror is only what it reflects.

But the dishonesty then occurs in the self-interpretation....the mirror believes false things of itself and false things about its importance to the woman. Believing false things does not make the mirror honest, it just makes it foolish.

um...You seems to know about this Mirror by Sylvia Plath....but, would you kindly please tell me what is this poet about cuz I don't understand it...I lack figurative sense....

The poem is written from the perspective of the mirror. The mirror itself is vain. Every description of what the mirror is, is deeper and more important than is really honest...for instance, we know that the wallpaper is not its heart...and that it is not the eye of the universe...yet the mirror believes that to be true.
At the same time, if the poem did not contain some honesty, it would not have lived so long(the poem would die). The woman looking into the mirror believes its importance.

Sylvia Plath is one of my favorite poets. I've read many of her biographies. You look better than her as she must be right now. (Morbidity is appropriate when talking about Plath).
