Explain the quote with a claim, evidence, and commentary: "From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his yees as he gazed at me has never left me."
Elie is reflecting on the image he has of himself after he's been liberated, the first time he saw himself in a mirror since he lived in the ghetto. The image he saw was that of a dead man..... a corpse, not the young man he actually was, but a man beaten down by experience and made old. Throughout his life, Elie never forgot this image.... the image of what his life had been.
