A well known fact about the author is her severe depression which she
suffered through before taking her life. This pain is reflected in nearly
all of her poetry. However I find "On Looking into the Eyes of a Demon
Lover" to be one of the most vivid examplesof the anguish that she endured.
She illustrates an amazing emotional outpour with simple yet intriguing
language. Her amazing symbolism demonstrates a unique understanding of
deeper meaning in the leering gaze of wonderous eyes. The metaphorical
content in this poem awed me, which is not uncommon in the works of
Plath.Though she did not lead the best life, Plath's work is, and will
be,greatly appreciated by lovers of great American literature fo centuries
to come.
