ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath tells the story of Esther Greenwood, a young woman who wins a summer internship in New York City at a fashion magazine. Despite outward success, she feels alienated and struggles with her identity, leading to a mental breakdown and a suicide attempt. The narrative follows her experiences in psychiatric hospitals, where she undergoes brutal shock treatments. Esther grapples with depression and societal pressures, eventually finding a path towards recovery and self-discovery. The book explores themes of mental illness, societal expectations for women, and the search for personal identity.
