This paper discusses how Sylvia Plath's poetry mostly portrays the theme of social deviance and society's intolerance to
differences portrayed by individuals, especially women. It shows how the poem, "Lady Lazarus", in particular, illustrates these themes. It looks at how the poem uses a character named Lady Lazarus in order to illustrate to the audience the effects of the marginalization of women in a
repressive society. It examines how the poem is divided into two phases: the first, the establishment of Lady Lazarus's condition and apparent
insanity, while the second phase is more complex, since there are numerous implied meanings embedded that show the duplicity of the woman's character.
