Key concepts: Aunt Jennifer's Tigers (Class 12 English)
Adrienne Rich's twelve-line poem sets the fearless tigers Aunt Jennifer embroiders against the fearful, weighed-down woman who makes them. The art outlives and outshines its maker: she dies still 'ringed' by her ordeals while the tigers go on prancing, proud and unafraid.
- Adrienne Rich
- Adrienne Rich (1929-2012), born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Known for her involvement in the contemporary women's movement as poet and theorist; nineteen volumes of poetry and three collections of essays. A strong resistance to racism and militarism runs through her work.
- What the poem is about
- The introductory note states it directly: the poem 'addresses the constraints of married life a woman experiences'.
- The tigers
- 'Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen, / Bright topaz denizens of a world of green' — jewel-coloured creatures on the green wool of the panel.
- Their fearlessness
- 'They do not fear the men beneath the tree; / They pace in sleek chivalric certainty.' Note 'chivalric' — the confidence of knights, which their maker entirely lacks.
