    The poem "Mad Girl's Love Song" by Sylvia Plath does not contain any allusions. The tone is contemplative as the speaker reflects on how her lover once loved her deeply but now does not, making it feel like a dream. The figurative language compares the lover to a thought or dream inside the speaker's head. The theme is about reckless love, and the interpretation is that the poem reflects Plath's feelings about how Ted Hughes gave her his love but then took it away, toying with her emotions.
