Authors
Erum Altaf
Abstract
The paper attempts to foreground feminist self in the context of Sylvia Plath’s Daddy. The paper examines the personal revelation and experiences of Sylvia Plath in the poem. The paper also attempts to explore the father-daughter relationship in the poem. It will also highlight some attributes of modernist poetry like Sylvia Plath’s Daddy. It is characterized by the radical break with the traditions of literary subjects, forms, concepts and styles. They have been blank verse poems, pictorial poems, remixed rhythms, and so on. The metrical systems, rhyme-schemes, and traditional symbols and metaphors are no longer dominating. Each poet makes his own rules. The multiplicity of styles is the characteristic of modernist poetry. The paper critically analyzes the poem in the context of postmodernism.
