From
a fashionable English major to an unclean tabloid reader, Esther Greenwood
goes quietly insane. During the course at the asylum, Esther’s mind
starts portraying things differently. There seems no reason the sleep or
eat, so she does neither. Not until her suicidal issues get her landed
in a hospital does Esther clean herself up. The Bell Jar takes you
from the beginning of Esther’s sickness to the end, where ever it may be.
