Answer:
Title Of The Poem
The poem deals with the physical and mental state of the tiger who has been put into the cramped space of a cage in a zoo. The poem also presents a picture of the absolutely contrasting life of a tiger in his natural habitat of a forest. The title directly presents the first setting of poem - the behavior of a tiger in a zoo, but contains in itself other picture - the tiger in a forest. Since the poet wants to portray the mental state and the helplessness of a tiger in a zoo, and emphasis that zoo is not his natural home, the title is suitable and justifiable.
