📝 Analysis:

'Lady Lazarus’ is about Sylvia Plath’s failure in her previous suicidal attempts and her mental transformation before the third attempt. Plath is known for her tortured soul. This is what makes this poem intriguing to readers. Most people have experienced agony at least once. This agony is often so deep, there are no words to express the true anguish present. Plath, however, inserts delicate, beautiful words into dark, lonely feelings.

💭The speaker of “Lady Lazarus” despises men like her doctor, in part because they obstruct her agency, but also because they objectify and dehumanize her. The poem's central conceit is that the speaker is a “lady” version of Lazarus, a man who was miraculously restored to life after having been dead and buried for days.

💭The poem begins directly with the main theme of this piece that is suicidal thoughts and death. According to the speaker, she has tried to kill herself once every ten years. The first time, when she was only ten, was not an attempt at all. It was just an accident. But, the second time she was determined to accomplish her goal of self-destruction. However, that attempt also bore no fruit.

💭It gave rise to bitter emotions in her heart concerning those who were around. She reveals her biggest enemy between her and the goal, is the doctor who saved her. So, before the last attempt, she bluntly says no matter what happens in this attempt. If she gets saved, she will rise like a phoenix and devour men like air.

💭Sylvia Plath wrote “Lady Lazarus” in 1962, during an intense burst of creative energy that shortly preceded her death by suicide, early in 1963. This creative burst led to the composition of many of Plath’s most famous poems, which were collected in the posthumous volume of 1965, Ariel. These poems, most of which are autobiographical and written in the first person, belong to what critics have dubbed the “confessional” turn in midcentury American poetry. Confessional poetry is known for its direct language and naked honesty, often addressing traumatic or otherwise troubling personal experiences from the poet’s life. This definition neatly describes many of Plath’s final poems, including “Lady Lazarus,” which centers a thirty-year-old woman who has attempted suicide on three occasions. Each time the speaker has survived a suicide attempt, she experiences a deeply traumatic return to the world she longs to leave behind. The poem’s title ironically likens the speaker’s return from the dead to Christ’s resurrection of Lazarus, as recorded in the Gospel of John. Whereas the biblical story is celebratory, the speaker’s tone is bitterly ironic and full of anguish. She suffers greatly in a patriarchal society that refuses to allow her control over her own body and life decisions.

📚Mrs Dalloway

 is a novel by Virginia Woolf published on 14 May 1925. It details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional upper-class woman in post-First World War England.

📝 Explanation:

▫️The working title of Mrs Dalloway was The Hours. The novel originated from two short stories, "Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street" and the unfinished "The Prime Minister". In autumn 1922, Woolf began to think of the "Mrs. Dalloway" short story as the first chapter of her new novel, and she completed the manuscript in late autumn 1924.

▫️The book describes Clarissa's preparations for a party she will host in the evening and the ensuing party. With an interior perspective, the story travels forwards and backwards in time to construct an image of Clarissa's life and the inter-war social structure. The novel addresses the nature of time in personal experience through multiple interwoven stories.
In October 2005, Mrs Dalloway was included on TIME Magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels written since its first issue in 1923.
On January 1, 2021, Mrs Dalloway entered the public domain in the United States.

📝 plot summary:

▫️Clarissa Dalloway goes around London in the morning, getting ready to host a party that evening. The nice day reminds her of her youth spent in the countryside in Bourton and makes her wonder about her choice of husband; she had married the reliable, successful, Richard Dalloway instead of the enigmatic and demanding Peter Walsh, and she "had not the option" to be with a female romantic interest, Sally Seton. Peter reintroduces these conflicts by paying a visit that morning. Peter's visit made it clear that he was still in love with Clarissa (despite mention of his new love interest, Daisy), and Clarissa expressed her desire for Peter to take her away. Clarissa additionally invites Peter to her party that evening.

▫️Septimus Warren Smith, a First World War veteran suffering from deferred traumatic stress, spends his day in the park with his Italian-born wife Lucrezia, who experiences major loneliness as a result of her husband's isolating illness. His going to war affected not only his ability to function, but Lucrezia's as well. Septimus is now visited by frequent and indecipherable hallucinations, mostly concerning his dear friend Evans, whom he had unresolved unrequited sexual feelings towards, and who died in the war; otherwise Septimus seems to be unable to feel emotions for anyone, even his wife. Septimus's relationship with his physicians, Sir William Bradshaw and Dr Holmes, is extremely poor. He fears for his safety in the presence of both doctors and often questions human nature after their interactions. As a result of his involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital he commits suicide by jumping out of a window.

▫️Clarissa's party in the evening is a slow success. It is attended by most of the characters she has met throughout the book, including Sally, Peter and others from her past. Clarissa discovers that Sally, whom she has not seen for several decades, and who used to be a free-spirited tomboy, has become a respectable, matronly mother to five boys. Meanwhile, Clarissa overhears gossip among other guests to the effect that Peter Walsh is secretly broke, having wasted his inheritance. Clarissa realises that Peter's desire for her money is the real reason for his sudden return into her life, and that she was right to choose the boring but reliable Richard over the exciting but irresponsible Peter.

▫️The novel ends with Clarissa hearing about Septimus's suicide at the party and gradually coming to admire this stranger's act, which she considers an effort to preserve the purity of his happiness. Clarissa also acknowledges her ability to relate to Septimus regardless of her limited knowledge of him.
