VIOLENCE, RAGE, AND SELF-HURT IN SYLVIA PLATH'S POETRY.
- Authors
GHASEMI, PARVIN
- Abstract
An essay is presented on poet Sylvia Plath. It discusses her writing as being a reaction against the self's confinement and mentions her focus on self-liberation from dispossession and social conformity. Her use of violent images and harsh language in her work are mentioned as being results of her own personal experiences with pain. Plath's short stories that she wrote during college are discussed as having themes of hopelessness and loneliness in them.
