The work, a thinly veiled autobiography, chronicles a young woman’s mental breakdown and eventual recovery, while also exploring societal expectations of women in the 1950s. In a 1962 interview, Sylvia Plath remarked that personal experience was interesting only if it wasnt 'a kind of shut-box and mirror looking, narcissistic experience.' She stressed that personal experience should be made 'relevant, and relevant to the larger things, the bigger things such as Hiroshima and Dachau and so on' (). This is a book that should not be missed. The Bell Jar, novel by Sylvia Plath, first published in January 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas and later released posthumously under her real name. Credit goes to Sylvia Plath has well for her incredible writing skills. She has proved herself as the true master of the genre. She was incredible with the performance of this haunting story which will leave a long-lasting impression in the hearts and minds of the listeners. The Bell Jar is a classic which is delivered brilliantly by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Such immense penetration right down into the dark and the many harrowing corners of the psyche was a top-class accomplishment and that made this The Bell Jar a gripping and haunting American classic. At the same time, she was also accessible and probable as much as the experience of actually going to the movies. Sylvia Plath drew masterfully the readers into the breakdown of Esther with such insanity of Esther that becomes completely legit and even rational.
She was slowly but successfully going under – and perhaps for the very last time. She was charming, brilliant, and immensely talented. This is the book that chronicles Esther Greenwood.
