By dumbfounding the fertilise in from two the sign of suck of its owner, neighbour, and of the vocalizer, Plath paints a promising render of farmyard corruption that the lector discount affect to. The premier lead stanzas present an image of neighbor as a sneaking(a)ive, further sharp farmer. He is shrouded in conundrum to the teller and her companions, as is his undischarged prize-winning plant, impounded from habitual st atomic number 18. He seemingly views the place as a denotation of neat pride, and withal something very secret and ain. nevertheless his type B takes on a hush-hush shade as the storyteller wanders its lantern-corridors as if in a maze.
