I love how she turns a simple cut, something that everyone has done at one
at one point or another, and turned it into a metaphor of her life.i like
this poem that she wrote.

I love how she turns a simple cut, something that everyone has done at one
at one point or another, and turned it into a metaphor of her life. She
looks at her thumb so apathetically, as though it's just something else she
expected, another blow. If Prozac is stopping people from writing more
poetry like this, then I say we outlaw it. Sylvia Plath turned her
depression into art, something everyone could learn from.

me personally i love this peom.. but what fascinates me and really
confusing me at the same time *if thats possible* is how she can make us
readers pick all these images out of her writing over just cutting her
thumb while making the dinner? im sure we have all cut ourselves at one
time *if not then get out of your bubble* but it takes a true gifted person
to turn it into something so horrible like the Klu Klux Klan..
3 cheers for her mind!:)

I think the real issue in the poem is not the fact that she accidently cut
her thumb, which doesn't actually make for that much of an interesting
poem, but her attitude. The pain of her wide eyed, exhausted indifference.
"What a thrill - my thumb instead of an onion". She looks on apathetic as
she bleeds, numb and detached from the situation, and somehow savouring it
as a 'thrill', an excitement. Her emotions are so real and aching, it makes
the writing all the more beautiful.

The imagery is graphic yet neccessary - if that makes any sense. Sylvia
Plath is a fantastic poet.
