The Bell Jar Chapter 13-14

Esther is depressed and has trouble seeing the point of living and why things are the way they are.  She cannot find the point of life and this started when she was really confused on what she wanted to do with her life.  She also became more upset when she lost her chance for that summer writing class.  Everything was falling apart in her life and she couldn’t find anything that truly made her happy but the depressing stories and that didn’t make her happy just was the only thing she could stand.  She could only handle pain and suffering.  She tries killing herself to get rid of the pain and to be done with the world.  She doesn’t want to be here anymore and it was kind of a call for attention, to get somebody to notice her.

Vivian-
I thought your blog was very good and you explained why Esther wanted to leave this world and commit suicide. I said very similar things about how Esther was feeling.
Good Job!
