Summary of the poem:-
( Analysis by Baljit Singh)
It is a small but beautiful poem written by Adrienne Rich. It is a symbolic poem conveying the message of male dominance . The poem has three stanzas only. The first one explains the tigers which aunt Jennifer has embroidered on the screen. The tigers are walking in the green world with a chivalric pace. They are not afraid of the men sitting beneath the trees. They look like a bright topaz.
The second stanza explains the influence of uncle's dominant personality on aunt Jennifer. She is suppressed and submissive. She has a great burden of household chorus. She is too weak to pull the needle through her wool. Her hands flutter due to weakness . Her wedding band seems massive for her weak hands.
The third stanza contrasts life and art. It suggests that life is short-lived whereas art is immortal. The tigers which she has made on the panel will go on prancing even after her death . They won't lose their beauty,grace and dignity in coming years but she will lay buried in a grave unknown and forgotten.
