His poetry was also very important to readers and critics. Sylvia Plath's work shows change throughout her life, refers to feelings and emotions, and focuses on everyday experiences. Plath's difficulties with narrative prose contrast between her novelistic dreams and her character. Plath's passion for classical novelists and her talent made her realize that suitable narrative prose was densely constructed (Hughes 1). Plath's poetry goes through constant changes (Smith 2). The bee was an often used motif (Smith 3). Jerome Mazzaro believes that Plath's achievements in The Bell Jar are less gendered. Mazzaro also believes that Plath's novel is a statement of mid-century appeal (“The Importance…” 2). Marilyn Yalom wrote in Maternity, Morality, and the Literature of Madness that Plath's novel of her breakdown and recovery, The Bell Jar, is a pre-feminist popularization of the effects of sexist culture. Yalom's critical vision has grown compared to the feminist and psychoanalytic criticism of the 1980s (“The importance…” 1). Plath's lyricism ranges from simple but effective to Hopkinsian ode for her beloved (Magill 2223). His best skill was turning everyday experiences into diary entries (Magill 2225). Plath's poems from Ariel reflect her fury and grumpiness towards life (Draper 2734). Letter's Home: Correspondence, 1951-1963 (1975) shows Plath's response to change in her adult life...... middle of paper... ...the language of war. One of his last poems shows how this vision limited and did not constrain his expression (Magill 2225). Some of Plath's poems, although the personal voice may be dying out, are still very personal (Magill 2226). Plath's symbolism comes from a disposition of doom. The purpose of Plath's poems is to show a deeper pattern (Hughes 5). Plath's short story, The Bell Jar, remained important to most readers (“The Importance…” 2). Plath believes that relationships are necessary, but destructive (Smith 6). Plath is a very personal poet. He also uses symbolism in most of his poetry and prose.
