Read Sylvia Plath’s poem “Tulips” from her final book of poetry, Ariel.  Also consider “Daddy” and “Lady Lazarus” as “meditations” on her greivances against men and the outside world, the world that she so uncomfortably inhabited. If we consider “Tulips” as a kind of precursor for “Lady Lazarus” and “Daddy” (though “Tulips” was written during the same period), how does the poem “anticipate,” if, in fact, it even DOES anticipate, the concerns of the two later poems? Can you see any connection between “Tulips” and “Lady Lazarus” and “Daddy?”
