“The Bell Jar” was Plath’s only novel, a novel that she described as “an autobiographical apprentice work which I had to write in order to free myself from the past.” The novel follows Esther Greenwood, a young college student, through her life and subsequent mental breakdown. Full of trigger warnings, “The Bell Jar” shows the pain underneath the beauty, pain that can be insufferable.
