The presentation of the Bell jar contained great observation of the reading. Plath's voice was clearly highlighted in that she was writing from observation and perception of her environment. This leaves her opinion to be just because it is solely based on her personal experience.
Plath's use of sounding out words by spelling them out how they sound serves great purpose to show how the character has power over her words. On page 113 she says "Root Wan Twenny Ate" turning her train stop into a name less meaningful.
The presenters also did a great job in highlighting Plath's feminist ideals and how she asserted them through her character. Dodo was used as a means to show what life meant to women in the suburbs and how was a victim to herself and environment. Even though she had an education, taking care of her children is what she seemed most happy with.
Plath uses:
Fragmentary sentences and paragraphs to layout her mental state.
The paragraphs make it work for compressed time
She uses a lot of descriptive verbs
Tone - Dark - Painting a picture of morbid mind
Listing of objects - showing the reader the mundane in her listing
Questions I asked:
What do you think Plath is saying about women, and how does she work in her views through her style and structure?
