Daddy

Sylvia Plath is pretty crazy about her stuff in her poems talking about killing her father. In the poem “Daddy” Plath talks about killing her father but she missed the chanced to do that. He died when she was younger it tells you this in lines 6-7 stated that she wanted to kill him ,but he died before her time. Then the poem goes on describing how her father was to her using allusion relating back to the holocaust. She says that she is like a Jew and that she starts to like a Jew she say this after she named off a few concentration camps .I believe Plath was trying to get out why she wanted to kill herself or maybe trying to get people to save her. Later on in the poem that if she killed one she killed two, which means she might be talking about her husband. He didn’t make happy so what happen apparently is she did kill herself in real life by gassing herself and the baby in the apartment. She might have been foreshadowing that she wanted to kill both her father and her husband for the way they treated her. In my opinion though I think she was crazy but no one was there to help out of her problem.
