The marking scheme directs examiners to reward discussion of imagery and language to reveal the poet’s fears and sadness, her fascination with nature and childhood, etc.
Sylvia Plath’s poetry reflects her troubled, yet fascinating outlook on life. Paradoxically, despite brimming with overpowering emptiness and dark emotions, her poetry is effortlessly beautiful. An occasional incandescent light shines through and reminds her of love, as she methodically contemplates nature or reflects on motherhood with incredible selfless depth. I am going to discuss Plath’s evocative language that reflects the amplitude of her overwhelming feelings and fascinating thought process in the context of Poppies in July, Finisterre, Black Rook in Rainy Weather, Pheasant as well as Morning Song and Child.
