Document Summary
Ester is so low that she can"t consider other people"s feelings because she is wrapped up in herself. A nice white lady who is supposed to grow up to be a nice white lady. No longer the person you were, but you"re still walking around. Esther greenwood is likely racist, not enough evidence that plath is. Rosenbegs: gave away the secrets of the atomic bomb. The rosenbergs haunt the book via their electrocutions. New york is described as haunted by death of the rosenbergs, but perhaps esther is haunted. She feels the guilt of their death with her whole being. The only way you can be successful is through death. There is literally no way out, all avenues are cut off. The lifestyle she rejects the whole novel is what she ends up with. The city hung in my window flat as a poster. Isolated and contained in her own invisible prison.
