The themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath's "Mirror" are truth and dishonesty and the waning of beauty over time.
"Mirror" is a short poem written by Plath in 1961, a time in her life when she dreaded the idea of getting old. The poem reflects this fear and her emotional state.
There is a line in the poem that says "I am not cruel, only truthful". What she means is that<u> the mirror never lies and, as "a little god", it is capable of see it all.</u> In this sense,<u> the mirror is omniscient, as opposed to the "liars": the candles and the moon.</u> Furthermore, there is a line in the poem that says "Faces and darkness separate us over and over" where <u>she refers to the passing of time and how fast a young girl can become an old woman</u>.
