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.’ The Bag Daddy changing bag has been designed in the UK by a group of fathers to meet the needs of modern parents. In an introduction written for a BBC broadcast of the poem in 1962, Plath described the poem as follows: 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.

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. 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: What she can’t process now, she’ll be haunted by later; the spirits hounding her will make sure of that… 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.

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’.

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.

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 11-13: “And a head in the freakish Atlantic / Where it pours bean green over blue / In the waters off beautiful Nauset.” She saw it on the news last night after Neighbours and fish fingers.
