Art has a way of speaking to the public. Painters share their story through a brush, creating such a magnificent illustration. Each unique piece of craftsmanship represents a fairy tale, narrative, non-fiction or personal story. The audience forms their own storyline when analyzing a painting, which may differ from or relate to the message the artist wants to portray. Another beautiful art is literature. When you read a verse, it paints a picture in the reader's head. Occasionally, writers may draw inspiration from such paintings. Sylvia Plath is one of many writers who felt exceptional with such a piece; he decided to use the same title for his poem. “The Disturbing Muses” was painted by Giorgio de Chirico and the painting later encouraged Plath to write a poem, using the same title. These two works of art differ from each other, but acquire a particular similarity. In the literary work "The Disturbing Muses" the speaker opens the verse with so much anger towards her mother for allowing three women, unwanted by the speaker, to enter her. bedroom. The speaker makes it seem like these three women are immoral and surreal, because these women are described as “illegal,” “disfigured,” “with heads like darning eggs” (Plath, page 1047). The first stanza represents the failure of a mother who did not provide her son with security and protection from evil mishaps. The connection in the bond between mother and daughter is non-existent. The speaker is devastated and talks about the unhappy memories that disturb his mind. As the poem deepens, these three female muses have become a lifelong obsession for the speaker. For example in the second paragraph, "Mother, whose witches always, always, were baked in gingerbread, I wonder if you have seen them, which......in the center of the card......ng symbolizes awareness and unattainable questions" The interconnections between these two works of art are the three muses. It is important to note this because the muses have the power in every work. Although their powers were different, each of the muses featured something in each of the works the main characters, and both stories revolve around the three muses. Each artist has his own meaning towards the muses he has included in his history, but each of them symbolizes something personal and cultural. For example, the three muses in Plath's poem reflect the speaker's three negative emotions and the failure of a healthy relationship with her mother. The muses in Plath's poetry slowly become the guardians of the speaker. Meanwhile, the muses in De Chirico's painting indicate awareness, concerns about the war, and hopes for the future once the war is over.
