endings speak volumes of plight that often plagues marriage in her time. In Coleridge 's "The Other Side of the Mirror”, we are immediately shown how the speaker feels about aging and Coleridge’s general idea on it as well. Aging is the death of a woman, "A face bereft of loveliness, it had no envy now to hide" (1410). Coleridge defines a woman’s worth based on her looks, however harsh in this time if women no longer had beauty or never…

(104). Before her name was sadness and a chain dragging her down, now she says it confidently. It is who she is, and she does not mind it anymore. The childish insecurities she felt no longer affect her. She is Esperanza, a confident, goal-oriented woman, and there is nothing wrong with that. She has also realized the importance of background, “They will not know that I have gone away to come back. For the ones I left behind. For the ones who cannot out,” (110).

afraid of living and hence is continually procrastinating. In contrast, ‘Mirror’, written by Sylvia Plath in 1961, around two years before her suicide, carries one into the mind of a woman through the eyes of a “silver and exact” mirror and sees from the mirror, through to the woman’s ageing and definition of a woman changing for the period of time.

caused a great amount of discomfort while reading as I am a strong feminist and Nietzsche was apparently my nemesis. Throughout Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche offers several witty aphorisms pertaining to women such as “compare man and woman on the whole, one may say: woman would not have the genius for finery if she did not have an instinct for a secondary role” and “are you visiting women?
