| Abstract | ||
| The present study aims at studying the moon myth in Sylvia Plath's poetry. The presence of the moon in her early poetry was associated with nature according to her mood, emotions and senses. Plath had used Robert Graves's The White Goddess myth as her Moon –Muse to represent sterility, barrenness, rivalry, cruelty and indifference in her late poetry. The moon myth was always female and had a great connection to Plath's personal life as female to represent her as a young girl, wife, pregnant woman, and mother, then after separation from her husband Ted Hughes. | ||
