This study examines the representation of existential anxieties in the confessional poetry of Forough Farrokhzad and Sylvia Plath and analyzes how existential crisis, individual identity, and the tension between the individual and social structures are articulated in their works. The originality of this article lies in proposing an analytical model for reading existential anxieties in confessional poetry, structured around four axes: body, role, language, and death. The research adopts a descriptive–analytical method based on a comparative reading of selected poems by the two poets. The findings show that in both poetic experiences the body becomes a site of suffering, alienation, and social pressure; gender and familial roles generate identity conflicts; language assumes a revelatory and resistant function; and death appears as the ultimate horizon of existential anxiety and the crisis of meaning. Despite these similarities, existential anxieties in Farrokhzad’s poetry are more closely connected to cultural and social constraints, whereas in Sylvia Plath’s poetry they take a more internal and psychological form. The results suggest that confessional poetry, beyond expressing personal experience, provides a space for representing the crises of modern human existence and rethinking the relationship between the subject, body, language, and death.
