A vulnerable young girl wins a dream assignment on a big-time New York fashion magazine and finds herself plunged into a nightmare. An autobiographical account of Sylvia Plath's own mental breakdown and suicide attempt, The Bell Jar is more than a confessional novel, it is a comic but painful statement of what happens to a woman's aspirations in a society that refuses to take them seriously... a society that expects electroshock to cure the despair of a sensitive, questioning young artist whose search for identity becomes a terrifying descent toward madness.
Sylvia Plath was born in 1932 in Massachusetts. Her books include the poetry collections The Colossus, Crossing the Water, Winter Trees, Ariel, and The Collected Poems, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Plath is credited with being a pioneer of the 20th-century style of writing called confessional poetry. Her poem "Daddy" is one of the best-known examples of this genre.

Plath is credited with being a pioneer of the 20th-century style of writing called confessional poetry. Her poem "Daddy" is one of the best-known examples of this genre.
In 1963, Plath's semi-autobiographic novel The Bell Jar was published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas"; it was reissued in 1966 under her own name. A complete and uncut facsimile edition of Ariel was published in 2004 with her original selection and arrangement of poems. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had a daughter, Frieda, and a son, Nicholas. She died in London in 1963.
"to the person in The Bell Jar, black and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream." 如果在青春期讀，也許會非常喜歡並被打動。可是之前已經看過太多同類的訴說。它對於後來同類故事（書和電影）的影響還是顯而可見的
1。 “我合上眼眸，世界倒地死去； 我抬起眼帘，一切重获新生。” 这真的不像人写的诗，所以我将它的全文找出来： Mad Girl's Love Song "I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) Th...

But I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure at all. How did I know that someday - at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere - the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again?...To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the w...

joan的自殺是什麽意思 是esther那個不正常的other self的滅亡嗎 甚至我不太明白esther如何一步步走出瘋人院 找回那個曾經的自己 是社會把你隔離 也是社會決定你通過質檢 可以上路了 而你知道鐘形罩卻隨時都有可能再次把你罩住 但是在走向陽光的那一刻 也許你也只能希望 下一次不會那麼快發生 下一次你會更加堅強
