Sylvia Plath, A Suicidal Mind

A mother of two, a wife to Edward Huges, a woman who went through a miscarriage directly followed by a major surgery and a thirty one year old who committed suicide by gas. This is the life of Sylvia Plath, a very severely depressed but brilliant poet. In 1962, the year before her death, her husband Huges had cheated on her. During this year she was feeling very lonely and had a terrible outlook of herself. …

…her sanity. She explores power to take control of her life and sanity, and she also explores a loneliness she simply cannot cope with. Plath was a severely depressed person seen in her poems when she relates herself to horrifying physical appearances, lonely and solemn places and the possibilities of ending her life as a way out. She ended her misery the only way she thought she could by suicide on the morning of February 11, 1963.
