Analysis and comments on Monologue At 3 AM by Sylvia Plath

Comment 3 of 3, added on April 1st, 2006 at 5:20 PM.

That was a lovely comment, Elizabeth. Plath has the ability to capture
vivid images in a few simple lines. Her words reflect the violent passion
of her emotions...that is why they are so great. love the last lines where
she laments the futility of her magnanimty.

Plath's style can almost identify with surrealists (i.e. Nin) in the sense
that there are so few times when a woman reads something- and you actually
feel some sort of spiritual connection with what you are reading. The
feminine psyche is that of misunderstanding. Plath is one of the very few
who woman can fully identify with, without having to throw her true
identity or morals away. It isnt about fantasizing with her- it is about
the truest and most raw form of female emotion. Whether it be "dramatic",
or just plain negitive; The female species is all ecompassing and so are
these works. I hope this has touched another in the way it has saved me.
