The Man in the Mirror
November 4, 2022
The man in the mirror scares me.
When I’m all alone,
He tells me no one loves me.
He tells me that he’ll kill me.
He’s a hideous being, always watching.
And though he’s just a man,
And though he can’t leave the mirror,
I can never escape him.
Because the man in the mirror is me.

This set piece is called The Man in the Mirror. For this set piece, I wanted to have the audience feel uncomfortable and scared, to set the mood by conveying negative emotions. The man is a personification of self hate, and is a symbol for it as well. The literary method I used was mood. Mood is the feeling set throughout parts or the whole story, and can be seen throughout it as well. I like this piece because it comes from personal experience.
