Poets  use symbolism to tie certain things which may initially seem not important to more universal themes. The symbols then represent these grander ideas or qualities
• Ringed with ordeals’ means to get entrapped in sufferings and hardships. The word ‘ringed’ is indicative of the restrictions and bindings imposed upon Aunt Jennifer by her husband. The ring is also symbolic of the bonding of marriage. The ring was the sole proof of the tortures which she had faced from her husband.
• The poet says that through her creation of tigers you can quickly feel Aunt's wish for independence and fearlessness. Therefore, she states that throughout her lifespan, Aunt can not gain this freedom. Only after her death would she get there, but then the irony of her life is that she is still bound by shackles in the shape of a marriage ring from her husband.
