has been being translated into Turkish literature and culture system for many
years. Having contributed to Turkish literature, some of her works embody
female characters who strive at gaining a place in society. Being a woman and

her husband. Taken all together, it is within the bounds of possibility that Plath’s
life redounded on her works and translated narrations. To illustrate and investigate

patriarchy) are identified and compared to the Turkish translation to comprehend
