Explanation:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The poem "The Tiger in the Zoo" by Leslie Norris presents an image of a caged tiger who, instead of "lurking in the shadow" or "terrorizing the village" is "locked in a concrete cell". The animal is left with nothing to do but be a 'display' for the humans.
The picture that the poet presents of the tiger tells a great many deals about the situation of caged or captive animals. Especially a wild animal like a tiger should be "snarling around houses, [...] baring his white fangs, his claws". But none of that occurs, and is left "stalking the length of his cage". And instead of being in the wild, hunting and roaming about, he is left in the cage, "star[ing] at with his brilliant eyes, at the brilliant stars".

Answer:
Captivtiy surely is the greatest curse one can suffer from, if we refer this line to our poem 'A Tiger in the Zoo', the poet Leslie Norris has tried his best to represent the tiger's gloominess, anger, apatheticness and piteous-condition. The tiger in the poem feels suffocated in the narrow cell that even makes him frustrated as he could only take a few quiet steps across. He craves to go back to the forest and make the plump deer his prey as usual. He knows that he should be growling and frightening the near-by villagers but to his misfortune he was locked up. This isolation made him lose interest in his surroundings, but at last what he can do is hope for the best.
