Abstract
Sylvia Plaths The Bell Jar is considered as an autobiographical novel because it reflects Plaths personal life. The novel explores several close points in parallel between Plath and her protagonist, Esther Green Wood. Her sense of being enclosed in a bell jar develops an urge for freedom that she seeks through death, because she thinks that death is not an end but the beginning of an alternate identity in new life. She struggles against the stereotypical roles assigned by conservative society and exercises her rebellious spirit by breaking through the chains of social confinements. In this novel, Esthers journey starts from within the jar to the without world.
