Abstract

This study discusses the condition of the women during 1950s and 1960s. She generalizes her state as being a woman living among a male-dominated society. Her mental state and dissatisfaction reflect her life as a female poet. This study justifies her hatred of men through some notions of the French feminist Luce Irigaray to analyze Plath’s feelings and emotions regarding her hatred towards men. The motives behind her suicidal attempts are explained in this study as well as the fears that she holds in her heart about present and future.
