Homonym: broken mirror (Superstition)
A "broken mirror" refers to a mirror that has been shattered or cracked, resulting in fragmented reflections. Mirrors are typically made of glass with a reflective coating, and when they break, they can create sharp edges and dangerous shards. Broken mirrors can occur due to accidents, falls, or intentional destruction.
In many cultures, a broken mirror is associated with superstitions, often believed to bring bad luck or misfortune. This belief may stem from the idea that mirrors reflect one's soul, and breaking one could disrupt that connection. Despite these superstitions, broken mirrors are commonly replaced or repaired in everyday life.
