The Looking Glass ? NEW YEAR'S EVE. Nellie, the daughter of a landowner and general, a young and pretty girl, dreaming day and night of being married, was sitting in her room, gazing with exhausted, half-closed eyes into the looking-glass. She was pale, tense, and as motionless as the looking-glass. ? Looking at Nellie's motionless eyes and parted lips, one could hardly say whether she was asleep or awake, but nevertheless she was seeing. ? "I must have fallen asleep," she thought with a sigh of relief. Clothes Fragments are flying about my head, multicolored and piercing sharp like bits of bangle glass. ¡°I¡¯m lying on the floor now, on the spilled white sari. I feel sleepy¡­.. Sometimes, bathing at the lake, I would move away from my friends, their endless chatter. I¡¯d swim toward the middle of the water with a lazy backstroke, gazing at the sky, its enormous blueness drawing me up until I felt weightless and dizzy. Once in a while there would be a plane, a small silver needle drawn through the clouds¡­.. They are knocking on the door now, calling my name. ¡°

Background¡®Clothes¡¯ MARRIAGE In India, arranged marriage is common tradition among the people. Marriage is not about love from them, but it is about commitment.They believe that feelings will grow later through process of marriage. In the arranged marriage, women parents, especially fathers, will search and decide who will become his daughter¡¯s husband.They do this because they think marriage has to keep good name of their families. WIDOWS Widows are alienated in India. Most of people think that widows are useless and considered as ¡®failed women¡¯. White sari is a symbol of a widow. It symbolized the end of woman life. Even there is a ¡®town of widows¡¯ in India.
Background comparation ? Both of the stories present that widow is a woman¡¯s bad dream and it is unrespected by society. ? Both of the stories tell about marriage and dream of women about their life
