"In Plaster" goes into the depths of isolation that any person (especially
a young woman) will unknowingly delve into when he or she realizes exactly
who they are and who they are supposed to be. Should you stay with yourself
and grow of your own accord through your own standards? Or will it be
easier to accept the one that others have made for you, the you that is
shaped by their views and standards? Is it more important to please others
by staying the same, the way they know you? It would make them happy if you
stayed that way, immortal child, for then they don't have to worry with
keeping up with your new trends and theories, you have to keep up with
theirs, and it is well for all.

It seems to me that in this poem is talking about her having an eating
disorder and how it gradually had a bigger grasp of her, but in the end,
she tries to conquer it.. what do you think? could sylvia plath have had an
eating disorder?

I think In Plaster is a very deep poem going into having two of oneself and
having to decide which one you like and want to keep before one becomes too
prominant and takes over completely.
