I'm surprised by these comments, I guess I must be daft because it seems to
me that the poem is really about mushrooms.

i thought this poem was about how she died which had to deal with the gas
that she inhaled which was what she was trying to do but otherwise this
poem was quite complicated but very enjoyful to read

I am doing this poem for an english project im doing, i picked this poem
because it was the easiest and shortest out of the choices to memerize.
But im glad i picked it because it's such a deep poem in so many ways.

Sad but it is the true reflection of her life... of course involving her
clinical depression

on close analysis of this poem we learn of the sadness it expresses of
perhaps yhe poets life and ultimately could reflect her suicide,sad but
touching

i'm 14 years-old and we had to do this poem for a project and when we read
the poem we decided that this poem was about women and how they had to take
over from man..they can't just be shelves, tables, meek, and edible..women
must multiply, and inherit the earth!!
at first i found this poem really stupid...bt the more my group and I
looked for the true meaning..this poem became very interesting..now I find
it a very good and interesting poem

I think this poem is about her depression, and that the speaker is not
Plath but her inner demons, so to speak, quietly growing while she lives
her life as if everything is normal, and then one day they completely fill
her mind.

I think it's rather shallow to think this poem is only about one issue. It
is a poem, after all, and can mean nearly anything in the entire world. On
my first read I found this poem to be a metaphor to society, how we spread,
grow, "inherit the earth" in a grotesque manner. Have you seen ants or
mushrooms spread? It's not an appealing thing, to me. I found it to be more
about humans overtaking of the planet (and essential destruction of all
that's good)
But as the good ole' bible says "Seek and ye will find". and I believe
feminist have an eye peeled for anything that can be twisted into feminism
(Granted this poem easily could be about feminism), and I perhaps am
seeking for a poem about mankinds destruction.
To each their own. If you're trying to pass some test on this; english
teachers perfer free thinkers. Dont requrgitate nonsense you read. Think
for yourself ;)
Personally: I loved this poem ^.^
