    Adam Kirsch has written that some of Plath’s works‚ like "Daddy"‚ are self-mythologizing and suggests that readers should not interpret the poem as a strictly "confessional"‚ autobiographical poem about her actual father. Sylvia Plath herself also did not describe the poem in autobiographical terms. When she introduced the poem for a BBC radio reading shortly before her suicide‚ she described the piece in the third person‚ stating that the poem was about "a girl with an Electra complex [whose] father

As time goes on‚ and Plath’s sanity becomes even more fragile‚ the narrator’s relationship with nature becomes more intimate
