Abstract

In the bell jar, Plath explores the marginalization of women. Her fiction, grounded in her own experience, permeates with that experience, revealing not only her commentary, but positions devolved into their most rudimentary parts, as to give the reader a backdrop to view them in greater relief. Plath explores both the social and medical institutions that uphold the position of women, as well as an account of the internal struggle the position causes. The bell jar reads almost like a text book to the reader, listing what careers women are allowed to have, and how a woman may break the rules to pursue a career that is not customarily a proper one. Plath reveals gender inequalities while also revealing the extent to which a woman must go through if they are to pursue a highly paid career .Jay Cee was explained as being unattractive in the text. To take a position that is not often filled by a woman, women like Jay Cee must behave in the manner of the center.
