Yi, Jae Eun. “The Role of The Ashes and Mirror as The Loci of Shifts in Consciousness in The Ash Girl.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 40.1 (2014): 119-138. This study attempts to examine the role of the ashes and mirror in Wertenbaker’s play The Ash Girl as spaces which reflect Ash’s desperate desire for a change in consciousness. The ashes are ‘Nook’ of repose which encourages remembrance of her past happiness, and replenish her with the energy. The mirror is a ‘Gap’ between dream and reality, a place where Ash comes face to face with the internal confusion. In this way, the ashes and the mirror are psychological spaces which reflect Ash’s desires and anticipate change. Wertenbaker is dealing with the particular ability of the ashes and the mirror, as instruments of revitalization and restoration, to bring about self-development of self-criticism. The Ash Girl shows that space is needed if one is to avoid the danger of getting stuck in the subjectivity and achieve objectivity in self-appraisal. This space actually plays a role in expressing and reflecting one’s own individual consciousness. (Chungnam National University)
