The Snow Queen
The First Book: a Looking-Glass and the Broken Fragments
This chapter tells of a devil making a mirror that only reflects what is ugly and hateful for his mere amusement. In his attempt to bring the mirror to heaven to spite the holy, the mirror breaks into a million brilliant pieces, each retaining the evil magic imbued in the mirror. The shattered pieces then spread with the wind, getting into people’s eyes and hearts, making them see only the bad in things.
However, it is left ambiguous to the fragments’ true effect, with Andersen inserting an additional layer of what the mirror really did from the point of view of the devil and the students of his kind.
“…for the first time one could really see, they felt, what the world and people really looked like”
