On February 11, 1963, Sylvia Plath turned her gas oven on and opened the door. She carefully placed wet rags under the door to the kitchen so the fumes wouldn't seep into the next room where her one year old son and two-year-old daughter were sleeping. Then she placed her head in the oven and waited to die. What was going through her mind at that moment?
