Anne Sexton

After researching "Her Kind" I found out that it started out as "Night Voice on a Broomstick" and went through several revisions. Some of the analysis I read talked about how Sexton was comparing herself to a witch because of her depression and the things it caused her to do. She may have felt the things were evil or that she was not accepted for them. Just like a witch would be. She is not the same as women of society's standard. Witches were outcasts, feared, and disliked. I guess this is how she felt. She felt misunderstood just like a witch.
