Question

Discuss about the title of the poem 'A tiger in the zoo'.

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem contrasts a tiger in the zoo in his cage with the tiger in its natural habitat. The poem moves from the zoo to the jungle, and back again to the jungle. The poet sees a tiger full of rage but quiet, moving in his cage in a starry night.

Answer 2

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.
