"Mrs. Lazarus" is a poem about suicide as regeneration, partly inspired by Plath's own life and depends greatly on Plath's lifelong struggle, bipolar depression and suicidal feelings.

Sylvia Plath's "Lad Lazarus" has a variety of poetry devices chosen to express the voice of the speaker. In the whole poem, the speaker seems to talk about death at a glance as though she were satisfied with death. But if we analyze the literary elements used by Plath in detail, we can see that death is far from devastating happy topics for her. The tone of the speaker in the whole poem tells us how annoying her attitude towards the whole concept of death. Plath uses vocabulary, images, sounds and repetition to lay the foundation of poetry. The choice of the word used in this poem helps complement the tone. The image depicted by the experiences of the speaker's death shows what she felt about death. These events give vivid descriptions to help us understand her attitude towards death. Repetition and sound set certain emotions and pressure against important aspects of death.
From reading "Mrs. Lazarus", the sentence of Sylvia Plus is obviously bloody and unpredictable. She uses his own symbols, images and themes to blend the true meaning of this verse. The Holocaust is an important part of this poem. Desire for attention and guilt leads to what ordinary people call suicide, but in the case of Mrs. Lazarus, this is an art form.
Lad Lazarus of Sylvia Plath is also influenced by traditions like Yeat's Leda and Swan. The story of Lazarus derives from the Bible. From John 's Gospel, Bethany explained that Lazarus was raised from death by Jesus before the people' s group. The resurrection shows Jesus' goodwill, "I will bring Lazarus and its spectators directly" (Dahlq 1). The traditional story shows a resurrection from strong to helpless as a gift; Lazarus has the opportunity to gain a new life for Jesus' virtue. Death was condemned, life was glorified, and Lazarus is grateful for his second chance of life.
