Lady Lazarus
‘I have done it again. ... ’ Plath’s tone is one of disappointment, as the speaker reveals she has attempted to take her own life. ... ’ Gruesomely, Plath notes cruelties of World War 2, and how the skin of the Jews was used for lampshades. ... ’ Plath’s tone is questioning, and fearless, enjoying this horrific aspect of her death. ... ’ By using internal rhyme, the ‘grave cave’ suggests darkness relating back to Christ and Lazarus, as they were the only two people ever to come back to life. ... ’ Plath has used capitals to emphasize this point. ... ’ Plath has used alliteration around ‘c’ as they ‘shove in to see them unwrap me hand and foot- The big strip tease. ... ’ Plath uses similes as she ‘rocked shut as a seashell. ... ’ Plath links the perfections of art to death, sarcastically relating her failures to succeeding. ... Plath has used internal rhyme with a cocky tone, which gradually grows bitter, as ‘the same brute amused shout: ‘A miracle!’ is what she hears when she wakes, much the same as Lazarus, but she doesn’t see her life as a comeback or miracle. ... ’ Plath has used rhyme as she mocks the unease of others.
