"mirror"

English
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,

<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>

The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.

By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.

By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

Why was the chorus so important in an Ancient Greek play?
maks197457 [2]
The chorus in an Ancient Greek play was extremely important because it helped the viewers to follow along. Often times it summarized what happened in a certain act/scene/play, which helped people who did not understand it to, well, understand it. It also often provided insight into characters minds. It told things about the characters that they could not tell about themselves, which could help the viewer predict what was going to happen in the upcoming scenes.
