Eminem’s song “Not Afraid” and Sylvia Plath’s poem “I am Vertical” both use imagery of nature to illustrate where they find strength in verticality; Eminem shows how he finds strength high up through the appearance on high surfaces and supernatural powers in his music video whereas Plath uses imagery of plants to demonstration how strength is rooted from the ground. Seeing Eminem’s video through the lens of Sylvia Plath, there is a disagreement between where strength is found in verticality. The idea of verticality is reimagined in Plath’s poem because it goes against the common idea that strength is found higher up.
