Explore the haunting and intimate works of poet Sylvia Plath, who digs into issues of mental health, trauma and sexuality in works like “The Bell Jar.”
--
Under her shrewd eye and pen, Sylvia Plath turned everyday objects into haunting images: a “new statue in a drafty museum,” a shadow in a mirror, a slab of soap. Her breathtaking perspectives and unflinching language made her a touchstone for readers seeking to break the silence around issues of trauma, frustration and sexuality. Iseult Gillespie shares why Plath's writing continues to captivate.

The most sensitive people often think that their sensitivity is a curse.. Whereas the truth is it is such a blessing. First thing is that such people are quite rare in this world. Secondly the sensitivity is a powerful strength that can be used for great artistic or even scientific ventures. The creativity and passion, the empathy and deep observation, makes possible such things that no one else could've imagined!

To me it's a curse... I wish I wasn't so sensitive. Although I know that I'm able to experience things so much more deeply than those who surround me, this makes me very vulnerable to experience suffering and it contributes to increase my feeling of loneliness, because people usually don't understand why I feel and experience the world in the way I do. I wish I didn't suffer from severe depression since I was 14... I'm 26 and I'm tired. I can't even finish my degree in English Filology (literature and linguistics) at college, which I LOVE. There are creative and passionate people out there who are healthy and happy, I wish so hard I was one of them. There are very few good things about being highly sensitive.

@BygoneT
@BygoneT 5 лет назад
You know, you can't document every individual without losing out on meaning. People necessarily use the same expressions and think the same way most of the time. If you documented every single person, you'd end up with a sea of regurgitated words, which would bore you to death. Not all people are as good as Sylvia Plath. It's a good thing that we can't see all the failed artists (and there are a lot, you just don't know it), because they would have turned off even the historians who gave us Plath.

@BygoneT
@BygoneT 5 лет назад
@@hrithik3165 Oh, so you just didn't like the comment, i get it, that happens xD Well from what i recall it's probably something about how everything has been said and done. At the risk of being a contrarian, i think that's false. If you take a ten year cycle as a time frame, a lot of things change, and what happens in those ten years, necessarily cannot happen in either the previous or subsequent decade. If you think about how relevant your actions are to the rest of your life, about 80% of it goes out the window. Lunch yesterday for example, won't be relevant to your job 10 years from now. If you take all the lunch you ever had, dinners, breakfast, times you went out with friends, school, and even most of your job's career, is mostly irrelevant. Important choices and discussions happen only a couple of times and they affect the rest of your life. That would go double for literature; since most people are not writers, most of writers are not good, most words are repeated and most thoughts are as well. But if you can focus on something unique, good stuff is always there, which is why we go for what's easy to spot. Of course it would be a shame to lose out on some good literature because good points are overlooked, but unfortunately manpower is limited. Out of the meat grinder of literature we don't have many outstanding works (and for some reason, a good part of the biggest works in history were written by Russians, what's up with that?), and that's probably because by the time you get to the crux of a hidden gem, you lost interest because of grammar, event set ups, prose, weak rhymes and the like. Still, there's something unique written for every era, and what surprises me is how relevant some can be. (Machiavelli and Adam Smith can still be read with no issue today, except maybe the former can be a disturbing read for who has never delved into political schemes) EDIT: If everything was already said and done in some way, we wouldn't still be working to understand what we have. The issue is that for convenience, we use the same words to mean different things, and that can be very counterproductive. For example, Dante in his Divine Comedy makes up so many words and verbs, it's a real pain to remember all of them. But they serve their purpose perfectly. One of my favourites refers to the Mountain of Purgatory resting on a lake. The verb Dante makes up is "Dislagare", which is a clever mix of Dis(Latin for separation), and "Allagare" which is Italian for "To flood", but "Dislagare" means something like "To separate its mass towering over a lake, dividing itself from the rest like a flood and two pieces of opposite land". It's really beautiful. Now the reason we don't do this sort of thing anymore is because we're lazy... (and that people who have no clue what you're saying, don't really have the time to figure you out)

I remember reading the bell jar in high school when I was just starting to have slight improvement with my severe panic disorder and depression. While she was an excellent writer, the story was painful to read especially knowing that she later committed suicide. I think it was very un enjoyable for me to read because much of her thought processes and gradual decline I had experienced and was struggling with. It’s alarmingly real and raw and just left me feeling numb after finishing it.

The Belle jar was by far my favorite book to read and annotate. As someone who also struggles with bipolar disorder, it's the only book I've read that gives me a deep connection to the main character. I find solace in knowing I'm not alone with my struggles through Plath's work. She will always carry a special place in my heart

Plath is in my reading list. But I've been putting it off because her works are so so complex. She really was a genius. I'm going to take an online class on poetry and then go to Plath. I really like this video. Not only does this make me want to read Plath sooner, it is even more to my taste because it mentions her relationship with Ted Hughes to the minimal. And even then it doesn't pronounce the name. Thank you TED Ed.
