Sylvia Plath: Writing Through The Pain Of Life

Writing Through the Pain of Life Sylvia Plath, born on October 27, 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts was famously known for her effect on the literary world. Her parents, Aurelia and Otto Plath, played a major role when it came to encouraging her to listen in school and learn the English language but it was not until after Plath’s father died suddenly when she was eight years old that she really began to keep diaries and begin writing (McKenna). Her father’s death sparked a sad and depressing lifestyle for Plath, and this was seen in her writing as a well.

People loved the dark edge her writing had. Her writing reflected the depressing life she lived and each and every time a new piece came out readers were able to find a realistic view from it.
