Analysis and comments on Stings by Sylvia Plath

Comment 4 of 4, added on December 8th, 2008 at 2:35 AM.

Stings was fantastic to read. I love the confessing feel of the poem and in
some ways relate to what she goes through.

I saw this as another of Plath's attempts at figuring out her anger towards
her father and his resemblance towards her husband. The queen imagery, I
am not quite sure; however, I do love Plath and I may enjoy reading it over
in an attempt to figure out its bold use.

Simply amazing. This poem struck me as something that was written simply,
but had so much more meaning to it. It has to be one of my favorite.
