Essay Topic: Rape Culture, The Bell Jar Pages: 2 Words: 925 Published: Downloads: 306 Download Print Apocryphally labeled a novel confined to the voracious appetite of mental illness, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath truly explores the societal ills in the role of young women in the 1950s. Such thorough exploration of the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche - and the profound collective loneliness that modern society has yet to find a solution for - is an extraordinary accomplishment, and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that Esther’s neurosis becomes completely understandable and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: young, brilliant, beautiful, and enormously talented, but slowly going under-maybe for the last time. “It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath’s voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal.” - USA Today ![]() ![]() St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series)Ī realistic and emotional novel about a woman battling mental illness and societal pressures written by the iconic American writer Sylvia Plath. ![]()
