B. 1962

Read Explanation:

  • The poem Daddy by Sylvia Plath was written on October 12, 1962 and is one of her most famous and controversial works.

  • It is a deeply personal and emotionally intense poem that explores themes of oppression, trauma, and the poet’s complex relationship with her father, Otto Plath, who died when she was eight years old.

  • The poem uses powerful imagery and historical references, including comparisons of her father to a Nazi and herself to a Jew, to convey her feelings of entrapment and the process of breaking free from his influence.

  • Written shortly before her death in 1963, Daddy is often interpreted as a cathartic release of her psychological struggles.
