What happened to the old woman who surrounded herself with mirrors

This complex poem begins with the speaker
recalling a thriller that he has just watched. Of course, he has watched the show at night,
which adds to the eerie tone of the show and thus the way it is portrayed in the poem. The
show's plot centers around an egotistical woman who is so conceited that she "surrounded
herself with / many mirrors." This conveys that she enjoys looking at herself, making sure
that every aspect of her appearance is perfect. As time passes, she is no longer content to
simply surround herself with mirrors; instead, she locks herself indoors with her mirrors, and
they become her entire existence. The trappings of pride consume her, and she is unable to leave
her house. It's also worth noting that the word "mirrors" appears on a line by itself,
emphasizing how isolated and lonely the woman's life has become.

Villagers
come for the woman, though it is not explained why. To further isolate herself, the woman
somehow disappears into the mirrors and becomes part of them.

She never
emerges, but she does still impact those who try to live there. As different tenants establish a
residence at this home, the woman steals a young person: first a little girl, then a young
woman, then the young woman's (presumably young) husband.

Why did she do
this? Is she envious of youth? Was she obsessed with losing her own youthful appearance, leading
her to become increasingly dependent on mirrors in the first place? Does she realize the error
of her isolationist tendencies and long for company once trapped in the mirrors?

Her reasons are unknown, yet her story furthers the themes of isolation and loss that
continue in the subsequent stanzas of the poem.
