Yes, Hughes wrote a good deal about Plath's mother in Birthday Letters- also some revealing things in a volume entitled "Howls and Whispers" which can only be read in his Collected Poems. Aurelia (Plath's mother) and Hughes had a fascinating relationship. They were really the only two who were intimately known to Plath. They both loved her, tried to help her, and both caught the fullness of her wrath like no others. I always sympathized with her mother, as Hughes remarked as he grew to know her in the years following Plath's suicide- "A remarkable woman."
She was definitely a player in Plath's "myth."
Plath married a fellow poet, Ted Hughes.

Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy" describes her complex relationship with her father, intertwining themes of family, death, and power dynamics. The poem explores her feelings of oppression and ultimately hints at her struggle to break free from his influence even after his death. Plath uses intense imagery and language to convey the pain and trauma associated with this relationship.
