To expose the presence of these threads in some of Plath's most poignant poems, I begin this essay post-9 and move back to World War II, situating Plath's Cold War texts. This is a precise reference to the time period in which Sylvia Plath knew Ted Hughes when he wrote “Daddy” – precise as opposed to the fictional references to Plath's father as “panzer-man” and “Fascist”. A curiously autobiographical poem, therefore, whose current symbols are “Luftwaffe”, “swastika”, “Dachau, Auschwitz: if dad is a feminist poem. The poem DADDY by Sylvia Plath is a feminist poem based on the inspirations she drew from the way her father treated her and how he describes her relationship with her husband. In the poem, the author describes the feminist views that guided women's liberation and addresses stereotypes. The main themes of "Daddy" include death, ambivalence, history and myth. Death: whoever speaks about her in the poem says that she had to kill her father but that he died before she could do it, after her.
