This paper looks at the life of Sylvia Plath, who spent her short adult life as a writer and whose works are held up today
as
classic pieces of poetry and literature and are examined for their undercurrents as well as their meanings. It discusses how since her self induced death there have been many admirers of her work. In particular it looks at two of her
poems which are classic examples of the deep and complicated mind that penned her poems, "Mirror" and "In Plaster".
