The poem “Lady Lazarus” in chapter 26 is a very symbolic poem. Throughout the poem the author uses imagery that is somewhat over the top. For example the line ” My face featureless, fine Jew linen”. This somewhat compares herself to the holocast, which to me is over the top. The way the girl in the poem wishes to kill herself but never can succeed. To me killing herself is just a show for attention. The way i see it if she wanted to do it she would do it and never fail. I had to read this poem a few time to get the real meaning. It was really deep and made you think outside the box.
