This article explores the idea that although much can be learned by viewing Sylvia Plath's poetry as an expression of her thinking and affect, additional insights are afforded by reversing the typical direction of effect and by viewing Plath's affect, and in particular her depression, as a result of her writing. Consistent with this interpretation is Plath's huge investment in writing. This may have contributed to the sensitivity that predisposed her to stress and depression. This perspective is tied to the existing creativity literature and interwoven and contrasted with existing descriptions of Plath's work and tragic death.
本文探讨了这样一种观点，即虽然将西尔维娅·普拉斯的诗歌视为她的思想和情感表达能让我们学到很多，但通过颠倒典型的因果关系方向，将普拉斯的情感，尤其是她的抑郁，视为她写作的结果，可以获得更多的见解。与这种解释相一致的是普拉斯对写作的巨大投入。这可能导致了她的敏感，使她易患压力和抑郁。这种观点与现有的创造力文献相关联，并与对普拉斯作品和悲剧死亡的现有描述相互交织和对比。
