Daddy, a poem written by Sylvia Plath, describes her true feelings about her deceased father. Throughout the poem, I found many instances that illustrate a great feeling of hatred toward the author's father. She begins by expressing her fears of her father and how he treated her. Subsequently she conveys her outlook on the wars being fought in Germany. She continues by explaining her life since her father and how it has related to him. …showed first 75 words of 1888 total…

This release of all that has been carried inside her is a means of closure for the treatment she has received. As a larger picture, Sylvia has also documented, from the inside, what it was like for the German dependent in a time of terrible hatred toward people who were seen as weak and insignificant.
