What to focus on?

Death and sadness?
Work and achievement
Fragility of life

Learning more and more about Sylvia Plath's life, it is hard to focus on something other than tragedy. I think a running theme found within her own personal story and also reflected in her work is this idea of the fragility of life. I think this is an area I want to explore, to come up with symbols for that rather than misfortune or sadness. She left behind such a legacy that I think it would be a shame and almost an injustice to the person I feel like I know an awful lot about to solely focus on her death.
