YES.

SILVER PLATE.

A "BELL JAR" IS AN OVERLY APT ANALOGY FOR THE CONSTANT GLOOM SYMPTOMATIC OF DEPRESSION.

IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE NOVELS EVER, AND SYLVIA PLATH'S BEST "WORK".

IF IT WERE NOT FOR "THE BELL JAR", SYLVIA PLATH WOULD NOT BE RELEVANT TODAY, OR PERHAPS AT ALL.

>Told me something about a bell shaped glass that covered her from head to toe

IF SYLVIA PLATH HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE BY SHOOTING HERSELF IN THE HEAD, SHE WOULD BE "SYLVIA SPLAT".

IF SYLVIA PLATH HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE BY SHOOTING HERSELF IN THE HEAD, SHE WOULD BE "SYLVIA SPLAT".

I AM AN HETEROSEXUAL MALE, AND I ENJOYED "THE BELL JAR".

AN EIGHT POINT FIVE OUT OF TEN, ACCORDING TO ME.

I THINK THAT GENDER IS IRRELEVANT TO BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND IT.

IF ONE HAS EXPERIENCED EVENTS & "PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES" SIMILAR TO THE ONES EXPERIENCED BY SYLVIA PLATH, ONE CAN COMPREHEND "THE BELL JAR".

>Where does one start with Sylvia Plath?
>I'm only familiar with her by reputation.
>I know absolutely nothing about her work

THEN IT IS IRRELEVANT WHERE DO YOU "START".

I LIKE HER NOVEL VERY MUCH. I COULD RELATE.

I LIKE HER PROSE MORE THAN HER POETRY, BUT I AM PARTICULARLY BIASED BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE POETRY MUCH.

I LIKED THAT NOVEL VERY MUCH. I COULD EMPATHIZE WITH "HER".

I DO NOT SEE HOW "YOU 'BEING SUICIDAL'" RELATES TO THE NOVEL.

I LIKE SYLVIA PLATH'S WORKS. I WOULD LOVE HER IF WE WERE COEXISTING IN THE SAME SPACETIME.

SYLVIA PLATH. I WOULD LOVE HER.
