Bell Jar | Sylvia Plath

Have always been a bit hesitant to read The Bell Jar. Any tips/experiences, folks?

Ft. Pretty handmade bookmark from my friend to help with it❤️

Vansa It's a very accessible, quick read(unlike some of Plath's poems).Its not a comfortable read though and you have to keep in mind that a genuinely deeply depressed person is writing this,or it can sound entitled.Definitely worth reading 3w
mavey @Vansa It hasn't been an easy read at all, yes Vansa. Thank you! I take a breather in between pages to get through 3w

Sylvia Plath reading some of her poems and talking about her work. And it‘s wonderful how she reads them, I love her poetry that is full of stark, sharp imagery.

Extract from Candles by Sylvia Plath
--------------
They are the last romantics, these candles:
Upside-down hearts of light tipping wax fingers,
And the fingers, taken in by their own haloes,
Grown milky, almost clear, like the bodies of saints.

The Bell Jar | Sylvia Plath

“What does a woman see in a woman that she can‘t see in a man?”
Doctor Nolan paused. Then she said, “Tenderness.”
That shut me up.

“But I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure at all. How did I know that someday―at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere―the #bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again.”

💔💔

It‘s time for a reread…
