The Willing Domesticity of Sylvia Plath: A Rebuttal of the "Feminist" Label
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The difficulty of living in a society for an individual who is in some way different from the norm or somewhat nonconformist is a subject thoroughly explored not only in modern literature but in literature throughout the ages. In this paper I consider the domestic thread remained in Plath's works. Despite the fact that many people knew her as a person who shunned her responsibilities as a housewife, I am going to prove the opposite of what is said. One of the roles Plath is searching for is encompassing all the aspects of her multifaceted life. To her, complete devotion is no betrayal of herself as a woman. It would make her whole as a person. Since she would be a wife, she wishes to be a vibrant, nature-connected woman whose setting clearly would make her a symbol of fertile womanhood. Despite her own emotional difficulties, the speaker presents herself as a responsible mother, a life nurturer and identified strongly with the domesticity of a woman. She loves her baby and desires to be a wife. To her, pregnancy plays the role of meaningfulness. Her suffering from pregnancy is in the affirmative side. It is a warning to her about the dangers of life in the modern society. At the end to Plath Husbandry, Children, House, Fame are more significant in her life than the other notions such as feminism and post- feminism.
