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.

Mice21 [21]
1. It was the past. Perhaps they were younger when they were on social media.
2. It is none of their business. Whatever goes on in their social/private life shouldn’t affect them.

dem82 [27]

Answer: character vs character

Explanation:

In literature, it should be known that character vs. character conflict, is when there is a conflict between two characters. The conflict can result into a physical altercation or can also result in differences between the characters.

Since Jill and Naomi are best friends, but they aren't speaking, then this is a character vs character conflict.
