Revision:

The childlike connotation of the title “Daddy” suggests the tension Plath evokes between father as authority and protector.

How does this sound:

The title alone causes one to conclude that within the relationship there is an uneasiness between power and protection. Primarily because of the child-like connotations that the word “Daddy” brings to mind.

Otherwise, just leave the first part like you have it and make the last part a second sentence.

Wow, that took me a while. I feel bad for anyone having to write a paper right now. Uggh.

Otherwise, break your statement into two sentences so that you do not have a run-on sentence.

Good luck!

“In the title, we observe unease in the relationship between power and protection, because of the child-like connotations it evokes.”

I don’t know if that captures the exact sentiment that you were trying to express, as I have not read that particular work. I may have altered the essence of what you were trying to say. I hope not. Just a suggestion to help avoid a cumbersome sentence. I hope that helps (probably not, but it was worth a shot).

Good luck

(or that the author would have liked it to have been a close relationship….)

I just thought the sentence should have been broken in two, and explained differently, but since it’s out of context, maybe you explain later. In that case, ignore me!

Good luck; AP Lit can be tough.
