Abstract

Abstract: In The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath depicts the struggle between The Angel in The House and the femme fatale still present in the modern woman’s unconsciousness. In this paper, I intend to discuss the mechanisms Plath uses in order to portray her heroine’s inability to perform as either role, showing her subsequent journey into Kristeva’s abjection, which involves neurosis and longing for death.
