challenging dark emotional hopeful sad slow-paced

3.5

some works i found very beautiful, others i found to be nonsense. it is hard to work though plath's work and truly understand what the meaning is.  my favorite poem was the couriers, though it is hard it is also rewarding once uncoded, as it details many issues she had with her husband's adultery. i believe that many of the poems are so dense is because she hid many themes of abuse, the despair she felt with her marriage, depression, suicide, and more from Hughes, who took issue with these topics. 

i despise Ted Hughes with my entire being though, for all he put Sylvia through.
