THE WOUND AND THE BOW EFFECT IN SELECTED POEMS OF SYLVIA PLATH: A PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDY
Öz
The present article aims at examining a number of Sylvia Plath’s poems in the light of Edmund Wilson’s theory “The Wound and the Bow”. According to Wilson, the literary text that the reader reads and enjoys is the product of a painful process that the artist goes through to purify his\ her soul of guilt and pain. In presenting his thoughts, Wilson depends on Freud’s theory of dreams in which Freud asserts that dreams are loaded with symbols driven from personal traumas. Likewise, according to Wilson, poetry is loaded with symbols inspired by the artist’s personal suffering. Thus, Wilson’s theory could be easily applied to Plath’s poetry that is a direct production of her childhood trauma and adulthood suffering.
