Plath's lack of gender in The Bell Jar

Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" explores a young woman in the 1950's deciding on a future, and her downward spiral into madness, attempted suicide, and recovery.

Esther, the narrator of The Bell Jar, was considered a menace to society because she had difficulty conforming to the image that had been designed for her. She was a wonderful person trapped inside the mold of orthodoxy. After her escape from her social expectations she found herself in a downward spiral, simply because she unintentionally eluded "normality."
