What one person can decide on such a big decision in little time? The “Marriage” by Gregory Corso is a poem that throughout the whole reading Corso is super indecisive about whether or not to get married to the girl who lives next door. He gives quite a few examples every time he goes back and fourth whether or not to marry the women next door. It’s a poem that has to do with making choices in life. We can relate this to our own personal life because everyone has to make hard decisions whether…

I strongly agree that Sylvia Plath's poetry presents a vivid portrait of an individual who's life is tormented and anguished It is clear from the beginning of Plath's poem "poppies in July" that the poem presents a vivid portrait who's life is tormented and anguished. This can be seen in the first line "Little poppies , Little hell flames". It appears that the individual in the poem shows two different personalities one of a kind person and another of an angry person. "Little poppies " shows…

“The Bell Jar” by Victoria Lucas (Pseudonym of Sylvia Plath) was first time published on 14 January 1963 in the U.S of America after her death in a same year. This book was written as novel by Sylvia Lucas, but in comparison with her life before this book, we can clearly say that it is autobiographical book, where the author tries to wright her personal story but under different name, Plath choose Esther Greenwood as her protégé in the book. Both of them had experience with magazines and…

The responsibility of the female poet is two pronged: to “give name to the nameless” and “answer the received cultural imagination of the subject with something utterly different.” Sylvia Plath and Gwendolyn Brooks do it exceptionally well. Their poetry tackles subject matter vital to the task of complicating cultural imagined archetypes for women. Almost immediately, first line Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem “The Mother” fulfills its responsibility of meeting culturally imagined standards with…

“Ariel” Sylvia Plath’s Ariel is one of the most renowned collections of poetry from the twentieth century. These poems were written during the last years of Plath’s life before she committed suicide and gives us a unique insight into the inner workings of her mind. Her estranged husband and fellow poet, Ted Hughes, published Ariel in 1965 after Plath’s suicide. In these poems Plath transcends to become her true self; the tone is cool, amused, bitter, and unnervingly charming. This collection is…

Poetry stems from a place deep down in the soul, and frequently this comes from a saddened core. Sylvia Plath’s poetry is no different; she incorporates her struggles with depression and suicidal tendencies in “Lady Lazarus.” Although this poem address melancholia in a beautiful pattern, “Lady Lazarus” acts as a peephole into the darkest realms of Plath’s existence. Through personal accounts of loss and devastation, Plath paints a lugubrious picture of her overall state of despair and emptiness.…

Oddly enough, the most powerful letter in the entirety of HBO’s Dear America: Letters Home From Vietnam was neither from a Vietnam veteran nor composed during the 1960s. It was the final letter in the film, likely for effect, and was from a mother written to her late son commemorating the 15th anniversary of his death. In this heart-wrenching piece, the distraught mother recalls a conversation she shared with Jim, another veteran who served with her son William during the last four months of his…
