<span>Allegory is a form in which the idea is everything. The author has composed the story according to a plan; the reader's job is to decode the plan. Characters in allegory are rarely more than figures standing for ideas. While allegory is rarely written today, many writers of academic/literary fiction use SYMBOLISM in much the same way - characters exist primarily to stand for an idea, and readers must decode the symbolic structure in order to receive the story. Allegory involves creating a fairly thoroughgoing pattern of SYMBOLISM in which all major events and characters in a story have a meaning beyond themselves and those meanings can be put together to make some sort of overall sense.</span>

Which theme is present in both Plath's "Mirror" and Welty's short story "The Petrified Man"?
Kazeer [188]
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.
