Retrieved June 20, 2021.At times, Plath was able to overcome the “tension between the perceiver and the thing-in-itself by literally becoming the thing-in-itself,” wrote Newman. “In many instances, it is nature who personifies her.” Similarly, Plath used history “to explain herself,” writing about the Nazi concentration camps as though she had been imprisoned there. She said, “I think that personal experience shouldn’t be a kind of shut box and mirror-looking narcissistic experience. I believe it should be generally relevant, to such things as Hiroshima and Dachau, and so on.” Newman explained that, “in absorbing, personalizing the socio-political catastrophes of the century, [Plath] reminds us that they are ultimately metaphors of the terrifying human mind.” Alvarez noted that the “anonymity of pain, which makes all dignity impossible, was Sylvia Plath’s subject.” Her reactions to the smallest desecrations, even in plants, were “extremely violent,” wrote Hughes. “Auschwitz and the rest were merely the open wounds.” In sum, Newman believed, Plath “evolved in poetic voice from the precocious girl, to the disturbed modern woman, to the vengeful magician, to Ariel—God’s Lioness.”

I can not draw on James’ drama: war, nations, parachute drops, hospitals in trenches – my woman’s ammunition is chiefly physic and aesthetic: love and lookings.” – Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia PlathTed shone: the room dead still for his reading – he came third: and I felt the genuine gooseflesh, the tears filling my lids, the hair standing like quills. I married a real poet, and my life is redeemed: to love, serve and create.” – Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
