What was Sylvia Plath afraid of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. Largely, herself. She extremely unhappy with herself and her image, her own life and being. This is reflected in her novel "The Bell Jar" also.
  2. Her relationships - not to say that she was dependent and clingy. In fact, she was sharp and independent at times, but they deeply affected her, the negative relationships she had in life, especially with Ted Hughes. She often feared that their relationship was poor, and later it turned out that he was being unfaithful.
  3. Her failures and imperfections. Sylvia felt she was never quite good enough, up to her own standards; when she felt she was unsuccessful in school and wasn't accepted to her school of choice, she tried to commit suicide.

According to this writer Dean Martin why and how has Sylvia Plath become an icon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Why was Sylvia Plath depressed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
