A review by neviris
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

dark reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

the life and thoughts of a chronically depressed young woman who feels nothing anymore. imposing elements, reading feels like being in a bubble. Would’ve wished for stronger plot development and not being stagnant. character development only slightly seen.
