What if Lazarus Didn't Want to Come Forth The paper discusses Plath's use of the story of Lazarus in the Bible as a way to express her feelings about her own thwarted attempts at suicide. Plath accuses the doctors who saved her of doing so only for their own celebrity, and the poem characterizes them as exploitative grave robbers. Ultimately, the poem stands as a statement of the right to suicide. Pages: 3 Bibliography: 1 source(s) listed Filename: 20106 Plath Lady Lazarus.doc Price: 26.85
