Oral Experience: Sylvia Plath's Daddy

Sylvia's poem "Daddy" creates a unique verbal experience by emphasizing inconsistent forms and repetitive sounds. Oral experience is different from the visual experience of reading poetry. Oral experience is to increase the meaning of poetry by using the flow of words and the sound of words. Specifically, a dialog stream is generated due to a combination of rows and sections, discrepancies in the prosody system, and mismatch in the number of syllables, and the unified structure of 5 lines collapses.

Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy" uses a heterogeneous structure and repeated sounds to convey readers, especially anger, isolation, and homeless feelings. The linguistic aspect of this poem also supports the central theme of alienation of the father and daughter of this poem. Uneven structures and repeated sounds are obvious verbal features that are not common in written versions of poetry. Because they are more attractive ears than the eyes. The version of this poem provides a lot of clues to its interpretation, but the oral experience of "Daddy" provides a unique perspective on the form and sound structure of poetry.

The next verse written by Silvia Plath and Anne Sexton focuses on their lives and personal problems. They tried to commit suicide when they began to experience depression. In this verse, Silvia Plus' father is talking to her father who died at the age of ten. Anne Sexton's "Her Kind" focuses on myself, talking about three characters who saw a woman from other people, drawing a woman in her poem. In this article, I compare the two poems, Dad and her kindness, and look for similarities and differences between the theme, condition and symbol in each poem.

Sylvia Plath 's poet' s father is not a dead father of her, but a fantasy poem, which is the image of her husband Ted Hughes' father. On October 12, 1962, after Sylvia Plath committed suicide, the father of this poem was written in Wikipedia. Almost all of Sylvia's poems were written in the latter part of the feminist fight of the 1960s and 1970s (Wikipedia / Feminism). The poem was published in a collection of poems under the headline "Ariel" submitted by her daughter Frith (p. 16). The collection of poetry included in the "Ariel" series makes Silvia plus the household name (ibid). In her poem "Daddy", Plath supported the Holocaust to condemn the image of her husband and father, and lamented the father who died at the age of 8.

For the poem "Dad", Silvia Plus was settled as a daughter who smothers forever, and she also wrote about her experience as a mother like "Morning song" and "Balloon" - Poetry capturing the gentle daughter's brightness and the depiction of a balloon floating around the house cheers. The desire to protect her daughter and her uncertainty about the future also found the direction of poetry. "Pray for my daughter" by William Butler Yeats is a moving portrait of the sea father who thinks about his little daughter and imagines her future while Richard Wilbur 's "writer" depicts. The father was deeply aware of his daughter's pain but she retreated to express herself through "key confusion of typewriter".
