Plath_Biography

Plath Biography Sylvia Plath is a writer with a life that generated a lot of interest. The interest that followed Plath was a result of her highly personal writings that eventually lead into her suicide. Her works closely reflect her life, and by understanding the events in Plath’s life her poetry and prose becomes clearer to the reader. Sylvia Plath became a sort of a martyr for women’s rights. Since the Bell Jar had a female character that wanted more than her set female role, it is considered an early feminist text. She struggled to reach a professional goal and her main character, Esther sees herself as something other than a housewife. Her character endures struggle and criticism, similar struggles that Plath endures. Plath faces the balance of career, family, marriage, and her female position.
