3. Is female to male as nature is to culture? Nature- given thi ng Culture- made thing by human to utilize for their convenience women men In society, they restrict to women as being of just nature.

4. BUT, That is not true. Both men and women can and must be equally involved in projects of creativity and transcendence.

5. Why,of all things, should Sylvia Plath choose the ‘Lazarus’ ? Lazarus is the character in the bible. Miracle- rivival he has his meaning of existence throu gh the death.

6. Literary device-paradox 1. Miracle became curse. 2. she is a heroine of miracle but specta cle 3. Charge for the reviving 4. Paradox of ending- women as becaming fire and men eaten like air

7. 1. Miracle became curse. In general, revival is a miracle and concidered sacred thing But in this poem, miracle is a curse ‘Same, identical’ environment even her body is becoming decomposed. To win this situation, she have to get a death but she has nine time to die.

8. 2.she is a heroine of miracle but sp ectacle ‘The peanut-crunching crowd’, ‘Unwrap and strip’, ‘Poke and stir’ Conflict composition Lazarus vs Doktor, Enemy, God, Lucifer

9. 3.’Charge’ for the reviving a human being. BEING AS WOMAN Society demands Being as wo men not a human being. But she demands ‘charge’ It ‘s society ‘s ‘charge’

10. 4.Paradox of ending- women as becaming fire and men eaten like air ‘Out of the ash /I rise with my red hair /and I eat men like air.’ Think of Relationship between fire and air. Fire needs air to burn To Lady Lazarus, Men is enemy but indispensa ble factor.

11. The thing Plath want to tell through Lady Lazarus In this society, women is not able to live. Death is final choice to live Men is a helper for women to live (Fire-Air)

12. Not eachBut both nature culture men nature women Conclusion. It’s not matter of superiority but metter of acknowledgment biolo gically sexual differences and reality. Make the culture both men and women so do that,in reality, to balance, men have to become air until becoming well-balanced

13. Never ending conversation To be well-balanced, we have to join the never ending conversation and debate between discrimination and difference. I think that process is the culture.
