Resumo: The present article aims to discuss the poem “The Two Sisters of Persephone” by the American author Sylvia Plath, seeking to identify its reception of the myth of Persephone and the possible references used by the poet, as well as the aspects that frame the poem within the concept of "Abjection," by the French philosopher Julia Kristeva. The use of classical themes and elements was recurrent in Plath's work, although this aspect of her work has been overshadowed by analyses that favor the autobiographical aspects of her writing. Current readings, such as that of Holly Ranger, privilege the association of Plath with literary movements such as Confessional poetry and Revisionist Mythmaking, which emerged in the 1960s. In Revisionist Mythmaking several female authors, such as Anne Sexton and Margaret Atwood, claimed the use of classics, a predominantly male intellectual territory until then. In the poem “The Two Sisters of Persephone” (1956), Plath demonstrates extensive knowledge of classical primary sources, such as Virgil and Ovid. Nevertheless, by exploring the duality of the goddess, the author seeks to modify the character of Persephone in order to illustrate a yearning of her time and cultural context during the second wave of feminism: the apparent incompatibility between the roles of mother/wife and that of a professional and intellectual.

Buscarei identificar qual sua recepção do mito de Perséfone e as possíveis referências utilizadas pela poeta, bem como os aspectos que enquadram o poema no conceito de “Abjeção”, da filósofa francesa Julia Kristeva. O uso de temas e elementos clássicos foi recorrente na obra de Plath, embora essa faceta de seu trabalho tenha sido ofuscada por análises que favorecem os aspectos autobiográficos de sua escrita. Leituras atuais, como a de Holly Ranger, privilegiam a associação de Plath aos movimentos literários da poesia Confessional e do Revisionismo Mítico, iniciados na década de 1960. No Revisionismo Mítico diversas autoras, como Anne Sexton e Margareth Atwood, reivindicavam o uso dos clássicos, um terreno intelectual até então predominantemente masculino. No poema “As Duas Irmãs de Perséfone” (1956), Plath demonstra grande conhecimento das fontes primárias clássicas, como Virgílio e Ovídio. Ainda assim, explorando a dualidade da deusa, a autora ativamente busca modificar a personagem de Perséfone de modo a ilustrar um anseio de seu e contexto cultural da segunda onda do feminismo: a aparente incompatibilidade entre os papéis de mãe/esposa e o de profissional e intelectual.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2023-09-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/darandina/article/view/4082710.34019/1983-8379.2023.v16.40827DARANDINA REVISTELETRÔNICA; v. 16 n. 1 (2023): ESTUDOS CLÁSSICOS: "MULHERES AGENTES DA ANTIGUIDADE À SUA RECEPÇÃO"; 175-1871983-8379reponame:Darandina Revisteletrônicainstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/darandina/article/view/40827/26379Copyright (c) 2023 Sarah Tolfohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTolfo, Sarah2023-09-14T20:42:01Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/40827Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/darandinaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/darandina/oaidarandina.revista@ufjf.edu.br1983-83791983-8379opendoar:2023-09-14T20:42:01Darandina Revisteletrônica - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false
