Abstract
This MA paper sets out to explore the evolution of the female lyric ‘I’, its role and importance in the selected poems by Sylvia Plath. It attempts to show how Plath’s lyric persona is in constant search of her own identity embodied in various roles she assumes: patient, daughter, wife, mother, and poet. The paper demonstrates how the images of mirror and mirroring, as well as doubling, play an important role in the lyric persona’s quest for true self. In Plath’s earlier poems we notice how lyric speakers deal with the problematic division of the self by seeking their true identity in their own or someone else’s reflection of themselves. The paper shows how in her later poems the lyric ‘I’ seems to find her own self through her artistic voice. Plath’s speaker develops into an unconstrained and autonomous female self that recognizes gender inequality in a male-dominated society.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj rad bavi se analizom razvoja ženskog lirskog „ja“, njegovog značenja i uloge u odabranim pjesmama Sylvije Plath. Cilj je ovog rada pokazati da je lirski subjekt u neprestanoj potrazi za svojim identitetom, utjelovljenoj u ulogama koje ona preuzima: pacijentica, kćer, majka, supruga i pjesnikinja. Pjesničke slike zrcala, zrcaljenja te dvojnika igraju važnu ulogu u potrazi za pravim „ja“. U ranijim pjesmama je vidljivo da se lirski subjekt bavi problematičnom podjelom ličnosti tražeći pravi identitet u vlastitom odrazu u zrcalu ili u drugima. U kasnijim pjesmama lirski subjekt pronalazi svoje vlastito „ja“ pomoću svog umjetničkog glasa. Lirski subjekt Sylvije Plath pretvara se u nesputano i autonomno žensko „ja“ koje prepoznaje rodnu nejednakost u društvu u kojem dominiraju muškarci.
