Night lets me know she’s on the way while I’m in the middle of getting ready. I decided to wear one of the designer outfits I bought the other day. Even though I know I don’t need to impress anyone, let alone Night, I can’t stand the thought of looking like a complete potato compared to her. She always looks perfect and wears the cutest outfits. Ugh… My attention turns to the River Sapphire around my neck. I may not compare to an immortal in appearance, but am I even completely human anymore? I haven’t

After Oedipa’s affair with Metzger, “things grew less and less clear…she went into the bathroom, tried to find her image in the mirror and couldn 't. She had a moment of nearly pure terror (Pynchon 33).” Like Narcissus and the pool of water the mirror serves Oedipa in a similar fashion, it reflects the woman that society has shaped her to be but the shattering of the
