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>. Over the course of the poem, there are several lines that reflect the fear of growing old and the fading of beauty.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Using a historical perspective helps the reader understand that Nnaemeka’s decision to marry Nene goes against long-standing traditions. He marries for love instead of taking part in an arranged marriage. He also marries outside of his tribe. As a result of his choice, his father shuns him. A feminist perspective reveals the marriage also goes against patriarchal values in this society. Women are expected to be homemakers. However, Nene is a teacher and does not fit the expectation. Both perspectives help the reader understand opposition to the marriage. However, one approach focuses on tradition, while the other focuses on the treatment of women in their culture.

What details from a story best help develop the theme?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Fourth Option

Explanation:

Lets use process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It's not the third option because giving descriptions of time and place only help establish the setting of the story and theme is the main idea of the story, it wouldn't be the first option because the readers knowledge develops as the story goes on so they wouldn't be developing details from the story that help create the theme. It also wouldn't be the second option because the authors motivation is before the story was even wrote. Therefore the answer is option four "character motivation and plot" because it helps the reader learn from the characters of the story.

Hope this helps.
