Research Paper On Sylvia Plath

In my opinion her most abnormal work was the poem," When I Die" due to the imagery and metaphors. It goes in depth when describing the man dying with his eyeballs out the whole poem is referring to a death of an individual in a horrific weirdly descripted manner. As usual, poems always have moral or theme for this poem in particular. It was the ones that have done you wrong have no right to cry at your funeral due to the fact of them not truly loving

What drew to me her work was how she was able to capture the struggles of communities, ethics, and class system too. That and the fact during her Young Americans project she invited several teens

After the affair Plath grew increasingly depressed and eventually committed suicide. He said that “Plaths death was inevitable, she had been on that track most of her life,” but he could not contend with the additional suicide of Wevill in 1969, which he said was “utterly within her power, and it was an outcome of her reaction to Sylvia’s action,” which led to Wevill’s suicide.” These past horrific experiences strongly affected Hughes future relationships and poetry.

     Emily Dickinson is one of the most famous authors in American History, and a good amount of that can be attributed to her uniqueness in writing. In Emily Dickinson's poem 'Because I could not stop for Death,' she characterizes her overarching theme of Death differently than it is usually described through the poetic devices of irony, imagery, symbolism, and word choice.

Thus led me to question whether her disorders could be prevalent throughout her poems or not. Her work also caught my attention because I had to read a couple of her poems throughout middle school and the way she wrote her poems interested me.

Sylvia Plath was influenced to write poems early on in her life. One of the biggest influences within her writing include her father, Otto Plath. Otto Plath had died from an illness caused by diabetes in 1940. After this traumatizing event, Plath had written very vivid poems explaining her problematic relationship with her father, and her feelings after he had died. She wrote a poem named Daddy (“Sylvia Plath” Poetry). Daddy is a poem including a characteristic person representing Plath’s father in real life. Her father in the poem is a dark person that Sylvia Plath has to “kill” (Ardagh, Emily). Plath was very upset about this sudden death of her father, so she thought the perfect idea was to write a poem about him. Another important person

Edith Wharton was an author in the Age of Realism who stood out to me. I selected to research her because

Sylvia Plath was a troubled writer to say the least, not only did she endure the loss of her father a young age but she later on “attempted suicide at her home and was hospitalized, where she underwent psychiatric treatment” for her depression (Dunn). Writing primarily as a poet, she only ever wrote a single novel, The Bell Jar.

Due to the novel’s strong resemblance to Plath’s own history it was published under the pseudonym “Victoria Lucas”. In The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath expresses the

As one of the most multitalented writers of the twentieth century, Sylvia Plath was highly esteemed by fans and fellow writers alike. Sylvia Plath’s parents, Aurelia Schober and Otto Plath, had met when Aurelia became Otto’s student at Boston University. Otto was a biology professor with an infatuation with bees; he had even published a book titled Bumblebees and their ways. Otto and Aurelia married in January of 1932, and by October of the same year Aurelia gave birth in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts to a daughter, Sylvia.

According to me, one of her best poems is “My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun – “. It talks about how women were mistreated at the moment. They were “things” controlled by their owners, men. That is a very great message to spread, but she did not even publish this

Sylvia was born in Boston on 27th October 1932. She has grown up in a family environment which supports self-improvement and literal works. Sylvia’s father, Otto was a dominant presence in the house. He died when she was eight years old because of pulmonary embolism after an amputation surgery. After Otto’s death Aurelia worked too much to ensure a good living for her children. They moved from one place to another for many times. This situation caused an unstable family life for both children. Sylvia’s first published poem was published after her father’s death. She was a motivated and successful student at school. She earned a scholarship from Smith College in 1950 and continued to read
