The paper looks at the language used by Sylvia Plath in 'The Bell Jar' to comment on gender, double social standards and relationships. The relationship of the protagonist with Buddy Willard is discussed analyzing the resentment and isolation of Esther who cannot adapt her behaviour with the opposite sex in the way other girls can. Critical analysis of the text is conducted making brief comparisons to other feminist and coming-of-age authors.
