| In early days, the mirror was actually a sheet of polished metal like silver and copper. Mirrors have a long association with fairy tales. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the wicked witch asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall/ Who's the fairest of them all?” In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a basilisk is a giant snake that kills people by looking in their eyes. Hermione was saved because she glimpsed at it through a mirror. Argentinean writer Jose Louis Borges used the symbol of mirror to mean eternity, fantasy and imitation. |
