Sylvia Plath

 



   Sylvia Plath was a famous poet, most of her poems were written in the 1950's. She was born on October 27th 1932 unfortunately on February 11th 1963 she had taken her own life by sticking her head in her oven. Sylvia struggled with a divorce and depression causing her to find her writing being much more sad. Her work that is most known is The Bell Jar, Journals, and Letters. 

"Perhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow."      
-Sylvia Plath (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)

Sylvia is explaining how no matter how beaten down you become in life, it only empowers your writing ability. She is stating that no matter how much pain might be brought to your life, you can make it a beautiful ending. Once you go through a situation is life, it is your choice to write the ending of it. I truly love the meaning of this quote overall because of the issues I have been through, it means I can write it in my own ways and change my ending.
