Question

What Do You Think the mask stand for in Shel Silverstein's poem, "Mask?"

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the title 'Mask' is a symbol for how each individual hides themselves; we all have a mask, a front if you were to say, a shield in a sense. We hide ourselves under this mask because we are uncomfortable and scared about what society and the common norms have to say about us. Humans are afraid to be judged.
