| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) is a twentieth-century feminist poetess and novelist. She expresses a feminist point of view in her writing. The Bell Jar (1963) shows how women in the 1950s were treated as the inferior and subordinate sex. This lead to a lack of openings for them to break free of this idea, and women became frustrated at the roles that they were restricted to and forced to fill, such as wives and mothers, rather than being allowed to follow their dreams as men were. Plath is against this conventional idea; she calls for equality. The present study is divided into three sections and a conclusion. Section one presents the life of Sylvia Plath. Section two sheds light on the concept of modern feminism. The last section deals with Plath's attitude to women's real identity in male-dominated society, and to the concept of marriage and sex. Then, follows the conclusion which sums up the findings of the research. | ||
