In “‘A Ritual for Being Born Twice’: Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar,” Marjorie Perloff attempts to explain that the novel is relative to society because of what it says about the “general human condition ” she believes that Esther’s quest in the story is just an extreme rendition of the woman’s search for her identity (508). Many critics, when faced with the story of a depressed young woman’s frightening experiences, debate how it might be considered an important contribution to the literary world. As Esther’s story plays out, Plath conveys her opinions on many topics, ranging from female oppression to the purpose of mental institutions.
In Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, madness and suicide are both major focal points as the protagonist, Esther Greenwood, attempts to escape from a society in which she cannot develop a sense of identity. In this paper, my goals were clearer, but I think that all the detailed explanations confused the main claim, making this claim difficult to understand. It is clearly an improvement from Paper 1, but still displays similar weaknesses as those in Paper 1. Paper 2 marks the midpoint of my progress in this class.
