Lines 41-45: “I have always been scared of / you, / With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. / And your neat mustache / And your Aryan eye, bright blue. / Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You—” Lines 31-33: “An engine, an engine / Chuffing me off like a Jew. / A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen.” Operation Desert Storm; you won’t lose a wink of sleep over it. Except your Daddy. Your Daddy’s shitting his pants. Enjoy your Viennetta.’ In this same broadcast, she giggles at the end of the poem when the narrator’s “father” ultimately dies. Given that the father in this poem represents the oppressive societal structure women like Plath sought to overcome. The bag is made of high-quality waterproof cotton canvas with waterproof zips making it durable, water resistant and can be wiped clean.

The poem is an extraordinary achievement, loaded with anger and brutal language and repetition of emphatic ideas. Despite many misinterpret her symbolic language as confessional poetry about Sylvia’s relationship with her father, Andrew Wilson, Plath’s biographer, has asserted that Sylvia actually had a ‘great relationship with her father’. The Bag Daddy is made from high quality, waterproofed cotton canvas and has a leather finish. It is beautiful and stylish, designed for modern parents. The bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap to make it easy to carry but it can be removed using the metal clips at each end. This strap is robust and side clips can be used to attach to a baby buggy. Baghdaddy is a playfully devastating coming-of-age story, told through clowning and memory to explore the complexities of cultural identity, generational trauma and a father-daughter relationship amidst global conflict. The poem comprises sixteen five-lined stanzas known as quintains. It has no regular rhyme scheme, although double ‘oo’ vowels, as in ‘you’, ‘through’, ‘Jew’, ‘do’, ‘blue’ appear at the end of many of the lines. This creates an almost childish, nursery-rhyme repetition.

It’s 1991 and the Gulf War rages three thousand, three hundred and twenty miles away. Darlee is 8 years old, crying behind the wheelie bookcase in Miss Stratford’s classroom. She’s just realised she’s Iraqi. Or half. Maybe both. Granola bar. This is for you, especially if you have a newborn. You’re already sleep deprived, and you still have to eat too, dad. Lines 8-13: “Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, / Ghastly statue with one gray toe / Big as a Frisco seal / And a head in the freakish Atlantic / Where it pours bean green over blue / In the waters off beautiful Nauset.” In an introduction written for a BBC broadcast of the poem in 1962, Plath described the poem as follows:

The Bag Daddy changing bag has been designed in the UK by a group of fathers to meet the needs of modern parents. Plath, a forerunner of Second Wave Feminism that developed in the 1960s believed the discrimination of women at the hands of men in the middle of the 20th century was similar to the oppression the Jews faced against the Nazis. This can be seen in how Plath expresses sympathy and identification with Jews and their suffering. A famous Jewish comparative literature professor at Yale, Harold Bloom, was notoriously offended by Plath’s use of the Holocaust as a literary metaphor. Others, such as Seamus Heaney, have criticized her ‘gratuitous’ references to the Holocaust in his wake: Here is a poem spoken by a girl with an Electra complex. Her father died while she thought he was God. Her case is complicated by the fact that her father was also a Nazi and her mother very possibly part Jewish. In the daughter the two strains marry and paralyze each other – she has to act out the awful little allegory once over before she is free of it.

Lines 11-13: “And a head in the freakish Atlantic / Where it pours bean green over blue / In the waters off beautiful Nauset.” What she can’t process now, she’ll be haunted by later; the spirits hounding her will make sure of that… Jasmine Naziha Jones’s debut play was developed as part of an Introduction to Playwriting group at the Royal Court.

She saw it on the news last night after Neighbours and fish fingers. Heard the fear slipping through the receiver, saw it oozing from Dad’s eyeballs and into the living room as he tried to phone home. Otto Plath died of untreated gangrene caused by diabetes when Plath was eight years old. She was never, therefore, able to resolve her feelings or come to terms with their problematic relationship. Some have applied a Freudian interpretation of this poem, analysing it in terms of an ‘Electra Complex’. Whatever analyses one applies the poem can be read in terms of Plath’s desire to come to terms with her feelings about her father. Lines 22-24: “So I never could tell where you / Put your foot, your root, / I never could talk to you.” Lines 41-46: “I have always been scared of / you, / With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. / And your neat mustache / And your Aryan eye, bright blue. / Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You— / Not God but a swastika”You can rest assured you are buying a quality item.
