Sylvia Plath married British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes. They were married from 1956 until her suicide in 1963.
5th of February, 6 days before her tragic death in 1963.
kindly give a complete analysis on the poem of Sylvia "Widow".
I'm waiting for your reply.
the meaning to the poem is how women are a symbol of mushrooms and back then women didnt have any rights so the meanin is how women are like mushrooms bein mistreated and being stepped on and men not noticing how beautiful the women(mushrooms) have grown from time to time.
Sylvia Plath won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for her poetry in 1982, nineteen years after her 1963 death by suicide. Her husband, late Poet Laureate of England Ted Hughes, selected representative works for an anthology, The Collected Poems.
She is a famous poet born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 27, 1932. She wrote many poems in her lifetime. Her most famous collection of poems was Ariel, published posthumously in 1965 by Hughes. Her poems are mostly melancholy as she led a haunting life and later commited suicide at a young age of 30.
She was also married to another at the time more famous writer Ted Hughes. She killed herself whilst her kids were sleeping using gas from an oven.

The Moon and the Yew Tree' was written in 1961, two years before Sylvia's death, and during a time when she and her husband were having a significant problems. This poem reflects her despair and alludes to the emptiness of her relationships with her parents and her husband.
I think the poet is trying to represent loosing her youth. The time is ticking and slowly going away and so is her own youth.
Her literature is profound and inspiring, very sharp and intelligent. She focused on themes that were very dark and heavy and atypical. She's seen now as more of a feminist and idealist, the leader of the Confessional poetry movement. She's an icon especially to female poets because she was so successful in her own right, with a unique view on life, men, relationships and a woman's purpose.

Sylvia Plath was 30 years old when she killed herself.
When she first began writing poetry at a young age in childhood, Sylvia said in an interview that she was very inspired by nature. She loved to write of the forests, trees, animals, flowers, etc. In later life, teenage years and onward, she found inspiration in darker and heavier topics, like war, personal conflicts, depressive and angry or elated emotion, men and relationships, etc.
The poem Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath is made up of twenty-eight tercets, or three line stanzas. There is not an exact rhyme scheme - some stanzas have an aab rhyme, while others have an abb.
Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were together for six yrs.
Sylvia Plath had two wisdom teeth removed, and this made her unstable, and it led to her committing suicide.
I had my lower and right wisdom tooth removed in 2008, and I know first hand that it causes problems with thinking and instability. It also causes neck pains, problems speaking, and so on.
Anyhow, somehow, perhaps since wisdom tooth removal is mostly a new practice, its effects aren't widely known, but I had noticed. I see it everywhere really.
