CM1145 #14 Psychological Analysis

In class right now we're working on our last essay, and I decided to do a psychological analysis. I'm torn between Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath because they both went through mental illness and ended up committing suicide because of it. Virginia Woolf stuffed her pockets with rocks and then proceeded to drown herself in a lake. Sylvia Plath stuck her head in an oven and turned on the gas... I can't decide which is worse. At least nobody got hit by a train in any of the stories this semester.

    Just want to say, I love the train reference. I knew that they both committed suicide but I didn't know that they did it in such terrible ways. Good luck with your project, mine's going to be a historical analysis.

    I love both Virginia Wolf and Sylvia Plath. I think it's terrible that they both committed suicide in such brutal ways. Due to mental illness the world has lost two amazing writers. I wonder if they hadn’t committed suicide what other amazing literary works they might have produced. I am doing my Psychological analysis on Sylvia Plath. She is my favorite writer. I loved her novel The Bell Jar. It was by far my favorite book.
