Sylvia Plath, cautions readers that there will be allusions to death. The tone for Plath’s poem is established by the well-known biblical figure Lazarus, who was restored to life after spending three days in the grave. This poem will be about defeating death because Lazarus was given a second chance at life, just like the biblical account. But Plath wants the reader to empathize with the dead Lazarus in the tomb rather than the resurrected Lazarus.
