“The Bell Jar” is the name of the novel by Sylvia Plath that the students in Mrs. Quenell’s class read during the semester. In science, a bell jar is used to isolate a sample from the rest of the world. Plath felt as if she were trapped in this type of jar and isolated from the world around her. It is inside a symbolic “bell jar” that Jam had trapped the love that she believed Reeve had for her after she figuratively killed him.
