Stylistic Analysis of Selected Poems of Sylvia Plath's Ariel Those critics who regard Sylvia Plath's poetry, specifically those poems included in Ariel as exhibitionistic and self-pitying definitely ignore some important facts about her language and style. This research provides an insight into her style by analyzing stylistically the text of her selected poems included in 'Ariel'. Stylistic analysis intends to provide a detailed description of the transmitted text of the work in question. It inevitably prompts and deepens the process of interpretation. According to Henry Reed it works as dialectic between precise description of the details of linguistic form and less precise intuitions about meaning of the poem. The present research offers a detailed analysis of certain stylistic features employed by Plath in `Ariel'. It includes textual analysis of her poetry particularly her use of imagery, symbolism, metaphors and simile. It also encompasses her implications of extra regularities and extra irregularities in her poems. The research intends to find out certain answers to questions related to the volume. The research follows the doctrine that linguistic and critical aspects of literary studies are complementary. A stylistic analysis intensifies our awareness and deepens our understanding of the text. The work has been planned for the readers who want to see Sylvia Plath's poetic art through the perspective of language.
