The Bell Jar

In chapters 19 & 20 of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, we read of 2 young girls trying to live with emotional strain in an asylum. Esther will be attending college in the winter and wants to do something that will make her feel normal again. Esther left the Ordinary World when she entered the asylum and by sleeping with the professor that she just met, she was hoping to be Resurrected before returning back to the real world.
Esther has a run-in with her Tests, Allies, and Enemies when she finds out the Joan has hanged herself. Esther questions if she had anything to do with the death of Joan, but is reassured by her Dr. This was a depressing story to read and see how these girls were struggling to recuperate in this asylum. There is only the question of, "will Esther end up back in the asylum?", and if she does "how long until her insanity returns?".
