Naked Girl And Mirror
By Judith Wright
The poem is very descriptive and full of really interesting
visuals which made me confused after I reread it a couple times. The poem seems
to start out as if it may have been from the Naked Girl’s thoughts or
perspective. As the poem continues on though I feel like this poem is actually
being told by the very mirror that the girl looks uses. The mirror is describing
what it sees and how it feels, especially in regards to the Naked Girl. I could be wrong about this interpretation of course. It
could also be that the poem is dealing with how the Naked Girl feels about her
reflection in the mirror. She seems to be odds with what she sees in her
reflection. I feel like around the end of the poem she doesn’t really accept
what she sees in her mirror is a part of who she is as she seems to dismiss especial with the lines, "Your lovers shall learn better, and bitterly too, if their arrogance dares to think I'm a part of you."
