美国自白派诗人希尔维亚·普拉斯的自杀引起了无数学者的关注,关于其死亡的论文也层出不穷。但学者无一不把普拉斯的死亡主要归咎于其丈夫泰德·休斯,认为他背叛是普拉斯自杀的最主要原因,但很多学者都忽略了一个人的重要性,这个人就是普拉斯的母亲。本文通过分析普拉斯的生活和其自传体小说《钟形罩》来解读其死亡的根源是其母亲对其无限的期望和施加的无形压力,而非休斯的背叛。

The suicide of the American self-styled poet Sylvia Plath has aroused the attention of countless scholars, and the papers about his death also emerge in endlessly. However, scholars have all attributed Plath’s death to his husband, Ted Hughes, who believes that his betrayal is the most important cause of Plath’s suicide. However, many scholars have neglected the importance of being alone Plath’s mother. By analyzing Plath ’s life and his autobiographical “bell”, this article explains that the root cause of his death is his mother’ s infinite expectations and the invisible pressure exerted on him, rather than Hughes’ betrayal.
