The Bell Jar

Esther’s journey takes her from the glamorous world of New York fashion magazines to the stifling confines of psychiatric treatment, mirroring Plath’s own experiences with mental illness. Through sharp, poetic prose, Plath captures both the brilliance and fragility of her protagonist, illustrating the suffocating feeling of being trapped under a "bell jar"—isolated from the world and unable to breathe freely. The novel is as much a critique of the rigid roles imposed on women as it is a deeply personal exploration of despair, resilience, and self-discovery.
