We've just finished reading chapters 4-6 of The Bell Jar. In this segment, Esther is taken in to see the dissection of some cadavers. Sylvia Plath wrote a poem about a cadaver room entitled "Two Views of a Cadaver Room". In this poem, she references Pieter Brueghel's painting, "The Triumph of Death". Here is a link to that painting, if you would like to see it.
