Sylvia Plath's poetry

     Sylvia Plath's work was much described as extreme romanticism. Her work has been referred to as "the longest suicide note ever written." Much of her work reflected the way that her parents were and their attitudes towards things. She was only seventeen years old when she first published her first poem and short story. She was often consumed with thoughts of horror and death. She soon became unable to cope and was checked into a hospital where she has intense psychiatric therapy.
     You can definitely feel her pain within and read the thoughts of death in her poems. In her poem Lady Lazarus portrays a woman who sees her own enemy as her looks. She feels like she keeps dyings so she thinks that she has nine lives like a cat. She has very low self esteem.
     Her poem Daddy was very sad. She states that she was like a shoe in his life Im assuming like he was always stepping on her. She says that she was always poor and white. She was very afraid of his if she was daring to even breathe or sneeze. She always felt that she could never talk to him which is very sad of a father and and daughter.
