Abstract:

Paper under view intends to evaluate Sylvia Plath’s poem Poppies in October (1962) from the perspective of stylistic analysis. It is carried out on Graphlogical, Morphological, Syntactical and Phonological levels. The poem is a blend of classicism with modernism; imagery, images, colours, irony and symbolism being chief features of the poem. This study is ready to lend a hand to examine the structure and style of Sylvia Plath’s poetry, her themes, style, and natural treatment.
