To illustrate some of these meanings, the author draws upon the mirror imagery and the psycho-emotional experience of specular reflection in the works of the Persian poet Forugh Farrokhzad (1935-1967) and the American poet Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). These two poets astutely employed mirror images for the realization as well as for communication of their turbulent psycho-emotional states to their readers, thereby capturing and conveying the essence of women desperately trapped among the antithetical images of the twentieth-century womanhood. The impossibility of reconciling these contradictory images is manifested at times in their failure to recognize their own mirror-images. For them, the mirror becomes a heterotopic site of entrapment or a utopian space of emancipation. 546 $a Includes parallel texts of poems in English and Persian. 600 10 $a Farrukhzâ¯d, Fur¿±gh $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Plath, Sylvia $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Reflection (Philosophy) in literature. 830 0 $a Iranian studies series (Leiden, Netherlands) 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826040413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB2FF2F66B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
