- "Ringed with ordeals" implies to get "entrapped" in "sufferings & hardships". The word "ringed indicates the "restrictions & bindings" enforced on Aunt Jennifer by her husband. The poet uses the word "ringed" implying that Aunt Jennifer is still "surrounded" by the "bitter experiences" of her "past life"
- "Ordeals" indicates "bitter & unpleasant experiences" of her married life. The ring is also "symbolic" of the "bonding of marriage". The ring was the "sole proof" of the "tortures" Aunt Jenifer "faced from her husband".
