Abstract

This research aims to analyze the traumatic realism in the poem Ariel (1965), written by Sylvia Plath. This research uses Michel Rothberg's (2000) theory to show traces of trauma realized in literary works and uses Abelson's (1995) theory to find extreme experiences that traumatize individuals. Researchers use an approach or reference based on the biographical book "The Cambridge Introduction to Sylvia Plath," written by Gill (2008), to find a correlation between Plath's life and her writing in Ariel. This research uses a qualitative descriptive design to reveal and investigate the phenomenon of trauma and the forms or modes of extreme experiences in Sylvia Plath's life that are realized in Ariel. Data was obtained from textual sentences or words in poetry that refer to events or happenings in Sylvia Plath's life. Based on Spradley's theory and analysis, we think that Ariel's poetry is closely related to events in Sylvia Plath's life.
