Resum
[eng] This paper attempts to state the differences and similarities between The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Focusing on the two female main characters, the research carried out has been focused on analysing the situation of feminism in each novel –one set in the 1960s, the other in the 1990s– and the inability of these women to comply with their prescribed positions in society. To achieve a fruitful analysis of the aforementioned topics, the books have been read and compared through three different scopes: the impossibility of female friendship, frustrated ambition and the effects of motherhood. The paper concludes that these main characters are dissatisfied with their positions in society because of their frustrated attempts to live by feminist ideals.
