The well-known poem "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath conveys her strong feelings about her father's life and death as well as her unhappy marriage. The speaker of this poem is Sylvia Plath, who lost her father when she was ten years old and was still infatuated with him.
Daddy, an extremely intricate poem draws inspiration from the poet's relationship with her late father, Otto Plath. The poem describes the speaker's battle to liberate herself from her father's hold on her. It is written from the perspective of a woman speaking to her father, whose memory has a controlling influence over her.
Sylvia's choice of the word "Daddy" is paradoxical considering that her father has never really been a "daddy"; their relationship is tense and unforgiving. By comparing her father to the kind of man she wishes he had been and bemoans the fact that he was never that man, Plath uses the compliment as yet another dig at her father.
