The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Book Summary

A realistic and emotional look at a woman battling mental illness and societal pressures written by iconic American writer Sylvia Plath.

“It is this perfectly wrought prose and the freshness of Plath’s voice in The Bell Jar that make this book enduring in its appeal.” — USA Today

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under—maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that Esther’s neurosis becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Reply to “crap”. Your review does not make sense at all-it’s completely stupid and immature. Also, if you’re going to write an awful, pointless review PLEASE learn how to spell and MAKE sense! Looks like a child wrote that-which I hope you are because if you’re an adult…omg This book is a classic and I am a huge fan of Plath. Her work is from a period of time that’s always captured my attention! I’ve always wanted to live in that time! I’ve always wanted to be born in the 1950’s so I could live in the 60’s and 70’s! Best era in my opinion! ZoëK

Couldn’t finish it. I pushed myself halfway through it and gave up. Sophomoric writing, unbelievable and unrelatable characters, and a plot that seemed to go nowhere.

This is crap. Why does the girl have to be so depressed like why not just go crap out the depression. When I finished this piece of crap book I was so disappointed that the girl didn’t crap then Eat the crap out of the toilet then through it up and Eat it again and have diarrhea then put it into a smoothie and make their two year old child drink it. Also this book is way over priced I had to pay freaking $20

A Classic Take on Depression. A brutally honest following of one woman’s spiral into depression.

The Bell Jar. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I finished it in one day. It kept my attention and the details were so intense I could feel the summer heat and feel myself spiraling downward into madness with her. Very well written.
