Abstract
Throughout this paper it is my intention to explore the following question: How does Esther Greenwood, Sylvia Plath’s protagonist in The Bell Jar, deteriorate as a result of the loss of her father, societal pressures and expectations and her inability to compromise and find some mutually acceptable role for herself? The Bell Jar is possible to be examined from multiple and intertwined layers of psychological distress of Esther Greenwood, which frequents and leaves her as if being trapped in a jar; also because of her feelings of intolerance against female stereotypes around her and causes her to reject all of those role models in order to thrive to demonstrate her own way of being a woman against the social and gender norms of US society in the 1950s, which were accustomed to be brutal and harsh against anything different; a general attitude of the social sphere and role model considerations of the time which is un-prepared at all to accommodate any feminist and/or sexually independent defiance or self determination either.
