Which theme is present in both Plath's "Mirror" and Welty's short story "The Petrified Man"?

The decay of beauty.

These two literary works both talk about women and femininity. Plath's poem is a depressive account of a mirror which sees nothing but the opposite wall, and every morning the face of a woman appears, searching for signs of aging. However, that woman was first a girl, and now she becomes an old woman. The decay of beauty is the main indicator of transience, which drowns the meaning of life.

In Welty's Petrified Man the decay of beauty is also not the central motif. The story is about the triviality of small people's lives in a small American town. Nothing really happens. Two women talk about trifles of their everyday lives. But the motif appears when Leota and Mrs. Fletcher talk about the latter's hair falling out.

In “Dress of White Silk”, where in the house is the narrating of the story?
Archy [21]

Answer:

Inside the narrator's room. <em>She was locked in by her grandma. </em>

Explanation:

"Dress of White Silk" is a story written by <em>Richard Matheson</em>. The story centers on the <em>white silk dress of the narrator's deceased mother.</em> Her grandmother secures the white dress inside<em> a box with a key</em> all the time. However, the narrator really loved that dress and how silky it was that there were times she'd open the box without her grandma knowing. One day, when her friend, Mary Jane, visited her house for lunch, <em><u>she was bullied for being a liar and not having a real mother.</u></em> To prove that she had one, the narrator went to her mother's room and opened the box where her mother's silk dress was. However, <u><em>something terrible happened </em></u>and her grandma took her away from the room while screaming, <em>"It's happened."</em> This became the reason why her grandma locked her inside her own room.
