Are you afraid to stake out opinions of your own on an anonymous website, or do you sincerely hope that other people will feed you an opinion to believe in? Either way, threads like this are pathetic.

She’s a good poet and a mediocre novelist.

Why do you sound as insufferable as the mod post in the sticky?

>>20845273
calm down troon, you don't even know who's the bitch on the op but are quick to seethe because you have been trained to spreg out when someone makes a slight conservative post

Would you like to actually make an assertion, then, or do you intend to keep dancing around what you mean to say like a coward?

where do I get Plath merch?

>>20845333
He was pretty clear on what he meant you braindead tranny. Ease off the hormones since theyve made you a permanent passive agressive faggot.

>>20845376
It is not passive aggressive to call someone a pathetic coward. But it is passive aggressive to frame your banal opinions as a question out of fear that someone might disagree with you. Again I ask, why not just say "I think Sylvia Plath was merely glorified for her tragic life and merchandising like Frida Kahlo"? Say it, defend it, make an interesting thread for once in your endlessly submissive life.

Great poet, but shitty novelist.

>>20845267
she was a fictional character created by Hitler. He wrote her diary as a sort of apology for the Holocaust.

>still seething and dilating
>hasn't even replied to op question to begin with

>>20845399
It certainly is cowardly when you know damn well you dont have that type of energy in real life. Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up just like you actually do outside of troonposting on 4chins.

I love that Ted Hughes was not only an effortlessly superior poet but he was rather nonplussed when she roasted herself.

>>20845456
Ted Hughes is a shitty poet lol. He's just a Lowell manque with an animal symbol fetish. Plath's late poetry is singular and actually 'effortless'.

>>20845472
Roasties stay toasty.

>>20845475
Most roastie poets or confessionalist Plath wannabes are bad, but Plath and Sexton are the only ones of quality among that bunch. The way you focus on gender makes you sound like a tranny.

>>20845484
Why are they good poets?
Post ten lines which you think are good and "singular".

>>20845267
glorified for her tragic life

Among The Narcissi

Spry, wry, and gray as these March sticks,
Percy bows, in his blue peajacket, among the narcissi.
He is recuperating from something on the lung.

The narcissi, too, are bowing to some big thing :
It rattles their stars on the green hill where Percy
Nurses the hardship of his stitches, and walks and walks.

There is a dignity to this; there is a formality-
The flowers vivid as bandages, and the man mending.
They bow and stand : they suffer such attacks!

And the octogenarian loves the little flocks.
He is quite blue; the terrible wind tries his breathing.
The narcissi look up like children, quickly and whitely

Both of the girls I've talked to who loved Sylvia Plath were incredibly attractive.

>>20846022
Were they fucked in the head as well?

>>20846050
One yes, the other less so but probably also not entirely mentally sound. The latter's a wonderful person, former is a psycho ex

>had children then killed herself
Why should I care about her beyond a clinical character study?

>>20845456
How do you roast yourself without heat? She gassed herself.

>>20845583
I think it's awful but I'm not that anon.

>>20845267
She is like Midwestern early 2000s emo and usually adored by teenagers

>>20846269
Denying empathy will only lead to a bitter life, anon.

We young men are forced to dumpster dive. Though I wouldn't touch Plath with a ten foot pole
