5. Comment on the themes of death and suicide in the poetry of Sylvia Plath.

 

Ans. One thing which has been noticed about the confessional poets is that when these poets go on to speak about their personal failures and breakdowns they go more into sorrow and despair. And this feeling often gets extended to the sense of self-destruction. This makes the theme of suicide and death central to their poems. Many confessional poets, including Sylvia Plath were suicidal in their real life. In her poems like Lady Lazarus she goes on to expresses her suicidal tendency beyond any limitations.
