Abstract

Sylvia Plath, who had faced cognitive issues in her life, displays in her writings a great drive for death which she believed to be the pacifier amidst the life of pandemonium. Despite the psychic calamity, there existed many chances which would have made Sylvia Plath to live till her natural death. This paper aims to analyse her desire for possible blissfulness, divided thoughts under single consciousness, and how she was unwilling to change herself from the obsession despite knowing well the right path for cheerful life primarily by applying Jean Paul Sartre’s “Bad Faith.”
