Whilst watching Sylvia (2003) I did my best to draw all relevant scenes and any useful imagery that would have been present in Sylvia Plath's life, according to the film. As expected, the film had a very sad undertone and although I knew what was coming at the end I still felt a sense of shock when it was over. Something I didn't know about was the turbulence of her relationship with Ted Hughes and the way he treated her throughout their marriage. I think if the same situation had happened today, Sylvia would have felt she had many more options - the film captured her feeling of entrapment and lack of choice which she speaks about so often in her poems and writings.
