- Title
Talking Body Parts and Missing Commodities: Cinematic Complexes and Sylvia Plath.
- Authors
Aggarwal, Vidhu
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the correspondences in the methodology and reception of the poetry of Sylvia Plath with the aesthetic setups of talk therapy, detective genre, and the surrealist cinema. The author notes that the Plath's poem "Cut" has inter-cutting images similar to the scene of the film "Un Chien Andalou," and has some of the attendant violence, black cinema, and wild associations. He says that in Plath's works, there is a desire to find a proper subject with defendable emotions.
