Answer:
I woke up to the sound of a loud banging on my door. Weary from last night's party, I scrambled to find my glasses. The loud banging almost hurt my ears. I quickly opened the door, not knowing who or what was behind it. As I carefully pulled the door, a woman in black dress and a black veil stood before my eyes. She didn't say a word. I stood there frozen. I wanted to run, but I couldn't. Then, the woman lifted her veil and started screaming "What did you do to me?" Now, I realized, her face was covered with blood. I pushed her away and run as fast as I could. To my surprise, I fell down the stairs and I opened my eyes. I was back in my room, sweating with all my might. Thank God, it was all a dream!
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.
