In "The Bell Jar," Esther Greenwood throws away the flowers her mother gave her as a symbol of her rejection of traditional expectations and societal norms. The flowers, typically associated with beauty and celebration, represent the pressures of femininity and the roles imposed on her. By discarding them, Esther expresses her feelings of alienation and her struggle against the constraints of her life, emphasizing her desire for autonomy and authenticity amidst her mental health struggles.
