Sylvia Path's Daddy speaks against patriarchy because Plath protests against not only her dad and what he represents but also her husband and opposes the power and villain of both people (and of patriarchal power in general).

Daddy's poem can also be seen as a poem about the person stuck between herself and her society. Plath weaves patriarchal figures— a father, Nazis, a husband, vampire— together and then makes them responsible for the horrors of history.

Daddy "imagines a patriarchal figure, but here it's socially and politically, and even the vampire is spoken about as regards its tyrannical power over the village. The speaker comes to the conclusion, in this reading, that she must destroy the father to break away from its limits.

These limitations can, in particular, be understood as patriarchal forces which impose a strict gender structure. It feels an exorcism, an act of cleansing. But it's not easy to fly. She knows what to do, but a sort of hysteria is required. She wants full power to be effective because she believes that she'll be killed if her opponent is not completely annihilated.

Explanation:

  • Daddy is a poem about the oppressive presence in her lives of the speaker's father. While he's gone, her feelings about him and the person he made her in his absence has trapped her.The poem is all about a woman and two men. The emphasis of the poem is on the speaker's link with her father. Nonetheless, it examined his undead effect on her life through the introduction of another man— her husband.
  • The speaker specifically relates the influence of her father on her life to the fact that she married a man who was a clone of him. Both people have a negative influence on the speaker in the poem. Both are known as vampires and as people who enjoy torture, violence, and death. And when you shared your loyalty and affection, both would kick you in the face. In the poem, the speaker looks at her father as cruel and excessive; she idolizes and loves him simultaneously. The two feelings are confusing and make her angry and nervous. The wish becomes evident when she says she'd wanted to die to get back to him at the age of 20.
  • The poem begins with the idea of the writer, possibly Plath, loving the father who is the focus of the poem.  This reverence became evident while the father is dead, and the poem is an effort to bring up the dead to kill and free them.  The father in the poem is cast as a Nazi and the poem allows us to understand the conflict among loving people who do things that cannot be loved..  
  • A victim/subject dynamism, using the Holocaust, reveals the conflict between dad and daughter.  In so doing, Plath is able to add personal suffering to a politically driven world and to lift a private relationship.  There is also a lot of complexities of the victim in this relationship, which adds to the destructive nature of the interaction between the two.
  • To some it is definitely a difficult poem: its violent images, the reminder of Jewish misery and the vitriolic sound may make it an unsettling reading experience. All in all, Plath's story relates to the inevitable figure of her dad; he died when Plat was 8.
  • As a survivor and as a variety of characters, she casts him, as a Nazi, Demon, Satan and, eventually, her husband who had to be killed as a resurrected figure. In the end, the poem says "daddy, I am finally through." The speaker then killed him with a stake through his black heart, spurred a dance-filled celebration and stamped his corpse. This sentence is delivered in a tone of mistrust, but the intense feelings of the final stanza leave the reader questioning if the speaker is truly free.
  • The final stanza includes not only the speaker dancing around her father's dead body but also an entire village of death-free people. The speaker thinks that her father and her husband are indicative of people in general or a particular man. They may also be the patriarchal structure that gives the power to control women
  • This poem is an elegy which is  typically is a lament for the dead. It is extremely difficult to establish any way in which this poem can be used as an elegy based on this concept. In the other hand, this is a brutal assault against the father of the speaker and a revival of kinds before the last burial and and a triumph over the dead body of the speaker's father.
