daddy is a poem written when hitler of germany was on his peak of torturing
people by disguisting techniques.here daddy is referred to hitler and his
harresments. plath being his sufferer in one or the other ways has very bad
image of his. she is suffocated in his rule so she reffers it to be a
smelly shoe. she had suffered in a young age so she wanted to kill him but
unfortunately he commited suiside{as per the book landmarks of 20th century
world history by hussain naqui)and plath missed a chance to kill him.she
expresses her frustration in the last line by adderessing hitlrt sa a
bastard.in all the poem reflects the mental or psychological impact of
hitler's rule.

This poem is exquisite! I love the diction that Plath uses. Although this
poem is quite disturbing and upsetting, I love the drama and the hatred. I
am a very appealing person.

The reference to "the black telephone's off at the root" is a symbol of her
disconnecting to reality and to this world", her way of turning her back on
these memories.

elle, for someone who has a degree you say some remarkably stupid things,
this is a forum where you discuss and voice ideas even if they seem wrong,
that is the whole point. to openly insult someone else is moronic, you
actually suck the big willy.

First, I'd say this poem is striking- it's tone and rhythm really build up
an atmosphere of anger which is so uncomfortably intense that I almost feel
I'm intruding. Such deep, candid emotions are actually (in my opinion),
rarely seen in 20th century poetry in such a stark way. The unusual public
fascination with Plath's life (not given to many other poets) makes the
poem easier to make sense of and somehow more emotionally accessible, as we
know exactly what emotional damage she had sustained (and, of course the
irony of us knowing her ultimate fate).
I'd also say that I think it's a real shame that people post half-baked
and, even worse, badly written comments on here. This website is a great
idea and I've yet to find a similar one for all poetry with the possibility
of posting comments. At least the humorous ones make for light-reading,
especially the purple alien one which actually made me chuckle, but there's
a lot of badly thought out stuff on here, probably as a result of people's
ignorance and lack of intelligence really. I think these guys are out of
their depth here- back to Roald Dahl, people!
Anyhoo, e-mail me if you're in London and are interested in discussing this
kind of stuff.

I do not BELIEVE some of these comments. "Elle" BRAGS about her double
(dble) degree in English & Psychology, and denigrates a 14 year old (? how
does she know the age?) for her "not graspoing the English language", while
her own comments are replte with English errors in spelling, grammar ans
capitalizations. Talk about being BLIND to yourself!! Maybe she should have
concentrated on ONE major, and definitely neither one of those two, 'cause
she sucks at both. She confuses inappropriate & base insults ad hominem
with good criticism and slams "misuse" of the language by Jennifer with an
atrociously written polemic. Bah.
Oh - and she reeks with unjustified and unjustifiable arrogance. I side
with Jennifer. Go, girl.
Incidentally, I never saw so many gross mistakes in the writing of comments
devoted to a poem in the English language, and so much misinformation and
misinterpretation, as in what I just read. YAAAWN.

A collage of childhood images of the father, a single shoe, the accent, the
foreign phrases, and the legacy of living with a fear of sickness leading
to death, afraid to even sneeze. The pain of the child's unresolved grief,
not permitted to say goodbye or have closure, abandoned and insecure. The
feeling of that the body has somehow been lost and is just missing and
needs to be found and put back together. Later in therapy, an image of the
father is sculpted, to facilitate dialogue with the father, and perhaps a
trip to Germany or Poland is taken, to trace the family roots, finding
familiarity in the accents and names, but no direct connection with the
father. The trip is an attempt to bring closure, but it is the train ride,
so evocative of the images of Jews and Gypsies going to the camps, that
provides the key to bring closure. The child 'demonizes' the father as the
Nazi, thus justifying her anger at the abandonment of death and enabling
her to 'kill' the demon and it's hold upon her life and emotions. Grief and
abandonment looms again at the death of her marriage and evokes her earlier
grief, as she struggles once more to 'kill' the new demon of abandonment
and release it's 7-year grip on her heart, mind and energies.

This poem "DADDY" shows how much she really did hate her dad. And that he
must have done something to make her feel this way and that is what she is
trying to tell everyone!

Amber, please realize that the Nazis persecuted the Jews. Not the Germans.
