Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath I chose Sylvia Plath as my poet for this project. She was born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachusettsand she wrote her first poem when she was eight. She was what you would call the perfect daughter. She was popular smart and she won various scholastic prizes. Her perfection was just a false image because deep down inside side had many problems that she kept bottled up. Sylvia lost her father when she was very young, this was just the begging of her hard life. When she was the guest writer for Mademoiselle magazine she committed her first suicide attempt by swallowing over a dozen sleeping pills. She later was treated with shock therapy and graduated from the college of Cambridge. While in England she married with Ted Hughes. She was a very outspoken person with a smile for everyone. At the age of thirty years old her final suicide attempt killed her. Her hard life full of suffering and loss was probably what inspired her to write. This is explains why most of her writing has a gloomy and dark feeling to it.
Her tone really doesn't vary throughout her poems because she was probably very depressed every time she was writing. " Now you tell me what you think she's talking about. She could be talking about an owl, goat, man, anything. " She is very good at painting pictures that aren't there. I believe that this was because she was trying to incorporate her scattered life into her poems. " She is saying that there is no hope in trying to do something that you know you cant accomplish. In this case she has the feeling of loneliness and with her good imagery, you could really feel it when she says that she is stuck in a worldless and empty cupboard. I really admire my poet's style and her way of writing. She uses so much abstract language that she makes it seem like her poems all have triple meanings. Marked how god rose and galloped in that guise. Basically her book has one definite tone and that is the tone of loss and sadness. In many of her poems she has many different levels to her pieces. In many of her poems she has the tone of darkness and sadness. All of that in suck a small form. She really knows how to draw a reader in and make you feel like she was really talking to you.
