Two beautiful complicated writers.
It broke my heart that Sylvia Plath's life ended at such a tender age. 30! She had so much life ahead of her. That her beloved lovey-dovey poetic husband suddenly became her nightmare is what I find quite contradictory.

Ernest Hemingway despite being an alcohol addict is a legend. I understand his fears with women and how his experience with Agnes change everything.

But then, Hemingway got news that Agnes had become engaged to another man and this broke his heart.

Indeed, it's quite unfortunate and heartbreaking.
Beautiful analysis, well done.
