delaneygrace 's review for:
The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath
dark
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I felt like I was reading a biography about myself. Despite being published over 50 years ago, Plath’s work continues to capture the experience of chronic depression and psychiatric hospitalization. She put into words what we cannot, all the while bearing the same burden herself.
