"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream"
To a person who is entrapped in their head when mental illnesses and depression make them feel even smaller to the world, so small that they feel suffocated like they are under a bell jar; even after you come out the outer world will still feel like another bell jar of its own. The emotions and the realness in the story created by Plath is a message to the whole world depression and mental health should be taken more seriously. I would not recommend this to anyone suffering such pains of their own. However, it was a good eye-opener to anyone who wants to understand Slyvia Plath better.
