The Bell Jar

Sylvia Plath

In CliffsNotes on The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath portrays the downward spiral of Esther Greenwood, a young girl growing to maturity in a time of rigidly assigned female roles. Desperately trying to evolve from adolescence to adulthood, Esther acts out the image of a good girl while longing to be brave, daring, and different. Her muddled identity brings on mental collapse, suicide attempts, and asylum stays as she says over and over "I Am I Am I Am."
