My analysis of the stanze ;; "the stain on your gauze Ku Klux Klan Babushka
Darkens and Tarnishes"
In Sylvia Plath’s bloodcurdling poem “Cut,” the narrator unintentionally
slices her “thumb instead of an onion” in a common kitchen calamity. The
stanza above shows the comparisons she makes between her unappetizing
finger and the headdress of an aged dame or even a member in a racist
secret society. She begins by dressing her raw thumb in gauze to control
the rapid bleeding and then recognizes that her grieving digit resembles
the sinister white hood of a “Ku Klux Klan” member as well as the tattered
“babushka” of a wizened peasant woman. As she beholds her dressed up thumb
she acknowledges that the crimson blood is slowly seeping into the thin
material which then starts to “darken and tarnish” the once white gauze. A
rule of thumb--keep your eye on the blade while dicing the vegetables or it
could turn into a culinary catastrophe. =]

The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes
Sylvia Path’s bloodcurdling poem “Cut” is about a common calamity that
occurs in the kitchen of many homes--the narrator has accidentally cut her
“thumb instead of an onion” while severing vegetables. The stanza above
shows the narrator’s unappetizing finger being compared to a headdress of a
peasant woman and to an evil member of a secret society. To control the
rapid bleeding she wraps her raw thumb in gauze, resembling the white hood
of a “Ku Klux Klan{sman},” or even the “babushka” of a wizened peasant
woman. As she looks at her thumb, a fire of unappealing blood slowly feeds
the gauze as it starts to “darken and tarnish” the once white material. So
keep your eye on the blade while murdering the vegetables or you might just
murder your thumb!

I think this poem is a great representation of metapors. I am also
extreamly sad that she has killed herself

Sylvia Plath is possibly the best poet ever invented. I like her and I like
her poems. Doughnuts
