Through the use of words and the life that she knew, there are many uses of words and imagery of
pain, loneliness, and hopelessness. The “black shoe” of her inherited culture keeps her a prisoner
resigned to endlessly perform the Sisyphean and useless “dredging” of the silt from the Father’s
throat (“The Colossus”). Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes should have played a major role in such a
revival. She draws a connection between the oppression of women and slavery and claims that
women at her time were treated not better than servants and illustrates the wife-slave analogy as
follows. In whatever woman was interested, she should have the right to pursue. However, in the
end, due to such narrative techniques a reader cannot help to empathize with the narrator. By looking

understood. Poe uses death as a central theme to most of his works as he relates stories that end in
death, ponder death, or speak about crossing the boundaries that separate life from death. Not only in
poetry or in epic, but also in communication. H. Widdowsen defines intertextuality as follows. Her
Works: Besides, having The Bell Jar, as her most awarded piece of work, Sylvia's other poems also
attracted praise and recognition. The anger from the German, soldiers, Hitler and the Nazi party is
little. She studied at the prestigious Smith College with a scholarship and in 1955 she went to
Cambridge University where she met and later married Ted Hughes. Both authors openly attack the
patriarchal order and address many of the issues that are illustrated by Silvia Plath in her novel The
Bell Jar. In other words, young girls tried to avoid making decisions over their own lives by
marrying as they were overstrained with the seeming opportunities society offered them in the
middle of the 20th century and the resulting pressure of choice (Friedan 76). Fifty-five years after
its publication, The Bell Jar continues to have a cultural hold. She was able to regurgitate her feelings
and confess her pain to readers though perhaps, some of these poems were never meant to be found.

a focal device in the security of male dominance and female accommodation. The journalists

Materials and methods: Based on documentary sources from the beginning of the twentieth century
to the present, we systematically searched old monographs, regional documents, technical papers,
project reports, as well as the international and national databases and the available scientific
literature, without restrictions regarding the language of the publications consulted. Thus, finally, she
could not find any other way to ignore her plight as a true representative of the postmodernist
individualism and consequently remained trapped within the bell jar. She argues that women were
not given a fair chance to unfold their potential and refers to Theodor Parker who states: “To make
one half the human race consume its energies in the function of housekeeper, wife and mother is a
monstrous waste of the most precious material God ever made” (Friedan 85). Sylvia’s father, Otto,
was diagnosed with diabetes and since he was in denial of his medical condition, he ignored what he
should be doing to stay in good health. It’s the outpour of the neurotic anger with the funnel of

symbolically and psychologically without restricting it towards the poetess’s existence and
encounters also. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. Also within the poem,

sexuality. This will help you get a better understanding of her style and the themes she often writes

You can say that intertextuality is a text overlapping phenomenon. They were engaged in a battle to
establish or bring to light the gross injustice that has been perpetrated against an innocent girl trapped
in a wedlock. Finally, the jeopardizing of her identity considerably contributes to the construction of
the glass layer that separates her from rest of the world, from the world of belongingness. The
journalists reported Ebola as personal as possible telling the stories of common people fighting with
the disease. But, while she felt tortured and destitute without her father, she also felt covered up by
her father’s dominating image. Painting and drawing remained as a hobby and influenced her poetry
throughout her life. From this point of view intertextuality then becomes a general characteristic of
texts. Then the structure and content of the paragraphs are corrected, individual words and sentences

“Persephone”, the Goddess of the Underworld, mentioned in the title. The fact that there had been

rising, while the male figure in the poem is falling. Conclusion: Construction of relationship between

choices is evident while she was attempting to commit suicide. Therefore it seems to be strange and
frightening to everybody. The textlinguistics expands the general definition of intertextuality in
several aspects. This is because it forces the reader to ?inish one stanza and continue straight on the

The protagonist tried her best to adapt according to the norms of social construction and fill up the
void of intellectual seclusion, however, her past experience with Buddy Williams created such an
emotional blockade that she started regarding males as habituated in “living the kind of double life”
(Plath and Ames 38). She refers to the fictive Miranda, a woman who she considers to represent the
ideal of self-reliance and states. So intertextuality remains a supplementary term that is mainly

to understand in the psychoanalytical perspective, the poem doesn’t literally express reality alone: it’s
the relieving frustration or anger, as well as an alternative outlet from the neurotic energy by means
of poetic expression. While Esther attempts her level best regard herself as a part of the society and
consequently attempted to enjoy the spontaneous, simple joys of life, however, her critical mind
cannot simply ignore the important questions related to gender issues, morality, ethics, and
generational differences. While Plath uses her poetry to describe her anguish rather than to actually
complain about it. By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy and to

essential, but. Whereas traditional concepts upheld the belief that women were completely feminine
and men entirely masculine Friedan as well as Fuller attempt to blur the gender division that far that

she “does belong to the man, instead of forming a whole with him” which is, according to Fuller, the
“very fault of marriage” (216). I was panting, as after a strenuous exertion, but floating without
