Plot Summary:Talented but plagued by her owns demons Sylvia Plaths early relationship with husband and fellow poet, Ted Hughes, is dominated by Teds ambition and success. In the early years of their marriage Sylvia lacks inspiration and increasingly senses Teds infidelity. The unspoken question is whether Teds extra-marital affairs are the result of Sylvias own insecurities or whether Sylvias deepening depression is exacerbated by her husbands philandering. It is only towards the end, when they are separated, that Sylvia is able to truly explore the dark depths of her soul and write the searingly brilliant poetry that earned her fame.
