i have to analyse 'daddy' for my final project.i've read so many critical analyses.some says she hates her father some says she loved too much.so i dont know which side to take..

Well, with a line like "fat, black heart" in the last stanza amidst a number of other negative images, I am going to have to argue that Sylvia was not a huge fan of her daddy.  Perhaps she loved him and he did not love her, and for that, she now hates him, wishing to be rid of even the memory of him.
