Maddie asked this question about
The Bell Jar:
I find Esther's descent into insanity a little rushed or hasty, but I have never experienced mental trauma like hers. Is it relatable to anyone else? Has anyone gone through what Esther is experiencing and could shed some light on this?

I don't think it was rushed or hasty actually. I thought it was just right. There are a lot of clues and bits that hint at it from the very first chapter.
