I have to do an essay on Sylvia Plath. Any advice on how to answer the question would be much appreciated: Give your personal response to the poetry of Sylvia Plath, describing the impact of the poems upon you. Support your answer by relevant quotation from the poems you have studied. Here are some possible areas that you might focus on in your answer: • Her themes, for example love and despair. • The anguished voice of some of her poems. • The startling imagery and symbolism employed in the poems. • Her skill as a poet. • The relationship between her life and her poetry.
