Sylvia Plath wrote "The Bell Jar" under the pen name Victoria Lucas to protect her privacy and to distance herself from the personal details in the novel. Plath wanted to explore themes of mental illness, social pressures, and gender roles without the burden of being closely associated with the protagonist's experiences.
