The Bell Jar
The Bell Jar, by Sylvia Plath, is a realistic, and shocking novel of a woman falling into the grips of insanity. The novel is a semi-autobiography, which means some of the things that happened in the book did happen. Sylvia Plath, will play the character Esther Greenwood, while as all the other characters had been people she met that gave her an idea of that character. The Bell Jar, is about a 19 year old girl named, Esther Greenwood, who undergoes a series of events before finding herself in a spot that many would not. She will breakdown throughout the book, but soon begin the journey of her recovery.
The Bell Jar, has many themes or messages in the book itself. One of the messages that stood out to me was that, family does have an impact on your life, whether you think they do or don't. This book will explore the impact of individuals lives during the 1950’s American society. With no parents to look up to as models, she will look up at other female mentors. Like any other people, critics do have their opinions on the book. F. Scott Fitzgerald say that “Her works do not only come to us posthumously. They were written posthumously.” In The Bell Jar, as well uses symbolism, imagery, and allegory. …show more content…
It is said that at one point when Sylvia Plath had been in the hospital for a suicide attempt, she had finally gave her trust to the doctor, that soon became a character in her book. As much of the book is true, so are the characters. In all honestly, I would recommend The Bell Jar to other readers. It is a fine novel, as remorseless and bitter as her last poems. The novel is about the way this country was in the nineteen-fifties and about the way it is to lose one's grip on sanity and recover it again. It makes one think about what others go through
