Bell Jar 1

Describe Esther’s feelings about her time in New York. Does she like it there? Why or why not.

I think that she likes New York but thinks the city is too fast paste. Esther reminds me of Buds mom in Pleasantville because they both feel confused and lost in their cities. When she explains her living in New York she writes how dull and empty she feels. When the book starts off it talks about how the setting takes place during summer that they excuted the Rosenburgs in 1953. What makes her stay in New York is her job with fashion and friends.
