![]() ![]() ![]() Was the ill-fated, short life of Plath really grounded in her father's untimely death when she was barely eight years old? She writes of this loss again and again, but never does she seem to be able to give up grief, or perhaps give into grief so that she can go on. She certainly came from a family that encouraged and rewarded her achievements and made it clear that discipline was one of the keys to success. When we look at her childhood, we see that Plath's father encouraged her precociousness and that Plath's mother made great efforts to see that her daughter would be successful in society. ![]() How was it, then, that as an individual she never found a comfortable, comforting, and nurturing place for herself in the world? It is obvious from her poetry, from The Bell Jar, and from her other writings that Sylvia Plath was an exceptionally intelligent and sensitive girl and woman. ![]()
