explain in the symbolism in the poem trees class 10
Answers
Answer:
The Trees is a short symbolic poem that focuses on the movement of trees that are initially indoors but seeking to escape to freedom in the forest. The trees represent nature but also the nature of being - womanhood in particular.
What makes this poem unusual is the speaker's attitude towards the trees. In the first two stanzas there is a definite attachment as the speaker objectively describes the escape of the trees to their new environment.
In the last two stanzas the speaker, now a first person 'I', seems to want to ignore this profound shifting of the trees but paradoxically by mentioning her own aloofness brings the whole situation into sharper focus.
The use of simile is clear as the branches of the trees are seen like newly discharged patients heading for the clinic doors. This portrayal of the trees as people in need of medical help means the poem cannot be taken literally.
The Trees then is an extended metaphor - the trees are indeed people, specifically females, females who are in need of healing or having been healed, are now ready for their true purpose, renewing the empty forest.
Written in 1963 and published in her book Necessities of Life, 1966, this poem appeared at an important point in Adrienne Rich's development as a poet and cultural figurehead.
In the same year she moved to New York with her family and started to teach, as well as throw herself into political activism, particularly anti-war protests. Years later she became an ardent feminist and wrote many poems and essays reflecting her strong political views and ideas.

Explanation:
The poet uses trees as a metaphor for human beings. The human beings feel suffocated and sad under the oppression and dependence. They yearn for their freedom and independence.

Thus, they are apt symbol for human beings.
