@sliver321123

LOL!!! Right?

[AdArmand]

She's was a captivating, fascianting woman. Thanks for this.

[sunclov]

Yeah, I agree

[lotusgdess]

Agree w/Leslie but also feel women such as Assia who have navigated thru life riding the crest of exceptional beauty, don't do well when they begin to age. They have used their irresistable charisma to manipulate and get what they want since birth. She was hurt by Hughes but let's face it, she created lots of emotional devastation getting her selfish way in life. But I suspect she was trying to protect the child. It wasn't a Medea act to hurt Hughes who was indifferent to the child.

[sunclov]

She also had alot of abortions too, including the first child she got pregnant by with Hughes,(before Sylvia killed herself) in a time when abortion was not as excepted in society.

[eclecticfire73]

Yes, but some do. Killing your children if you are about to kill yourself is quite normal, when you have been abandoned and have no friends or family...it is not pyscopathology or mental illness, its a well-documented phenomenon, particularly if the mother is left as only carer for too many kids/disabled/autistic children etc..

Saying other people (with support) dont do it , is irrelevent.

[starletdempsy]

Killing that child was a SELFISH act. It just shows what kinda of a person Assia was.

[smithsisdeadx]

Right, so because a woman approaches a man that gives him the right to an affair, especially after marriage. Hughes knew Sylvia Plath was unstable mentally, and instead of trying to help her, comfort her, he got scared, and left for another woman, who he too, had an affair on! It's nothing to do with poetry, gender, any of that, but about being loyal, honest, and a decent human being. So yes, let us pity him, the attractive, sexy man who defied morals because of his immaculate, poetic talent.

killing the child was selfish, but sometimes i wonder about sylvia killing herself with her children in the apartment. just leaving them there to sit alone. i wouldn't be able to kill my children, but i wouldn't be able to leave them either. devastation all around

[starletdempsy]

@sarabower1con't... One thing though, If I knew a person like that, I would encourage him/her to keep going in life and never give up. You do not realize how special you are in the sight of God. You are worth to live no matter what you did or what you've been through. I know you can't see or understand, and your so mad at the world and self, but keep on going. I know what it feels like to be locked in a jar and you can't breath, and feel you are literally cut off from the world and life. No fun.

[starletdempsy]

@sarabower1 Things happen, and I know how it feels to end ones life. But I do find it selfish by choice, one for the family the other for my belief in God. I will hurt the people that loves me most, and I would hurt God because he put me here to touch many people who need help in this terrible world we live in. People need encouragement, but it isn't right that she killed herself and her girl. Now, you can accept by opinion or you don't, it really doesn't matter to me.

[starletdempsy]

@sarabower1 She had an abortion? I was refering to her killing herself with her baby girl. Also, I do think abortion is selfish only when it involves women who are perfectly healthy and too the baby inside, but kills the child because they want to pursue their own ambitions. Don't get me wrong, ambitions are beautiful for the most part, but when you decided to spread your legs in the air and don't take the responsibilities that comes with it. I'm sorry I have 0 respect for you. that's my opinion

[searcherboy]

@sarabower1 You're wrong. I did not refer to Wevill's abortion. Wevill's and Hughes's daughter Shura was 4 years old when Wevill fed her sleeping pills and turned on the gas. If that isn't murdering your child, I don't know what is.

[shoegalsho2]

@sarabower1 HA HA!! Yes! x

[sarabower1]

@starletdempsy she had an abortion

ABORTION IS NOT MURDER

[sarabower1]
