Use of Figurative Language in Daddy by Sylvia Plath

Using the figurative words of Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy" you can discover the deeper meaning of this poem. By using metaphorical words through poetry such as symbols, images, and word play, Plath reveals hidden information about her relationship with her father. To help clarify information about her father, Plath uses Nazis, vampires, size and communication symbols. In the verse of Plath, she often uses the figurative words of the Nazis and the Holocaust. She said that she was like a Jew and her father was like a Nazi.

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.

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.

The word of Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy" reveals the author 's efforts to escape from the author' s father 's memory, and her father passed away at the age of ten. The author 's explanation of her father compared him to God, Nazis, devil, and vampire. All of these images are overwhelming, but when they are put together, it becomes huge and uneasy. In this poem, Sylvia Plath made her father feel hatred and hate. This tone explains her father through Plath using metaphor, dialect and punctuation.
