Sunday morning in the house of Marya D., preparing for church. Sonya lights a candle and looks in the mirror, a Russian custom said to reveal one’s future. Natasha only sees her own face, until looking closer: she sees Andrey lying down.
Natasha ponders her own guilt. After church, Marya leaves for...
[SONYA]
Early Sunday morning
Natasha and I lit a candle
Looked in the mirror
[NATASHA]
I see my face
[SONYA]
Don’t be silly
They say you can see your future
In the long row of candles
Stretching back and back and back
Into the depths of the mirror
In the dim confused last square

I’ll shut myself in my room
And try on new dresses
[SONYA]
And just after Marya left
There was a knock at the door
Natasha had just turned her head to the glass
When she heard a voice that made her flush

When a mirror is opposite another mirror, it creates an effect often known as an ‘infinity mirror’ where it appears the reflected image is being repeated an infinite amount of times. Sonya suggests that in the furtherest ‘square’ you can make out, there will be an imagine prophesising the future. Be...
