I Think I Am Going Up, I Think I May Rise - Death and Rebirth in the Poetry of Sylvia Plath

Stenskär, Eva LU (2014) LIVK10 20141
Comparative Literature
Abstract
This thesis is a thematic analysis of two major themes in the poetry of Sylvia Plath: Death and rebirth. The idea is to look at selected poems by Plath without taking into account biographical data. The thesis investigates death as perfection, the act of dying and the performative aspect of rebirth. It also takes a closer look at the meaning of the color red and the movement upwards (the ascent) and the silence that proceeds them both.
