Description
(Text)
Literature has a unique capacity to touch the hearts and minds of people and engage them in a way that is distinctly different from political or academic texts. It can even lead to a personal or general positive change. It is common to depict suicide in literature. Suicide, the act of deliberately killing oneself, is a prominent action in many important works of literature. Authors use the suicide of a character to portray defiance, despair, love, or honor. Whether it is written as the ultimate act of devotion or the result of depression, the act of suicide was and is a prevalent action within the context of English literature. This book contains an initial discussion of the history of suicide in literature, including life and suicide experiences of suicidal authors in the history. It also examines the themes of death and suicide in their works. The book also concentrates on Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton's life and literary works from a feminist and social perspective. It also maintains almost all psychological and social circumstances qualify Plath and Sexton to be more in conflict and indicates that death is an ever-present reality in Sexton and Plath's poetry.
