e/Lady Lazarus

Information
has gloss	eng: "Lady Lazarus" is a poem written by Sylvia Plath, originally collected in the posthumously published volume Ariel, and is commonly used as an example of her writing style. Plath describes the speakers oppression with the use of WWII Nazi Germany allusions and images, in context with Daddy. She develops a German image to denote Nazism and in turn, oppression. She accounts this connotation to the doctors in the poem, such as calling the doctor Herr Doktor, because they continue to bring her back to life when all she wants is to finally die. This is the speakers third time facing death. She faces one every decade, the first one being an accident and the second a failed attempt at reaching death. At the end of the poem, when the speaker experiences the unwanted rebirth, she is represented by the image of a Phoenix, which is a mythical bird that is known to be burnt alive and then reborn in the ashes. This next decade will be different for the speaker because she plans to "eat" the men, or doctors, so that they cannot revive her next time she faces death.
