summary
This poem contrasts a tiger when it is in its natural habitat and when it is imprisoned in a zoo. On a starry night, the poet sees a tiger in a zoo. The tiger moves slowly up and down in his cage. He is full of rage but is quiet in his helplessness. The poet is moved to pity for the tiger. He says that the tiger should have been in the jungle. He should have been moving quietly in the shadows near some water hole, and waiting for a plump deer to pass that way. But sadly he is locked behind bars in a concrete cell. He does not take any notice of the visitors and is looking at the brilliant stars with his brilliant eyes. Now he has to be content with merely looking at the stars .He is no longer free to move in his natural habitat and look at the brilliant stars from there .
Summary of the poem
The poem is about a very attractive tiger who is strolling around in his tiny cage. He has lovely stripes on his skin and silky, velvet-like paws. But within the cage, he is not content and is very agitated. The poet claims that although the tiger may try to conceal himself among the tall grass, he is unable to do so here. Truth be told, nothing is occurring spontaneously. He is helpless since he is enclosed in a sturdy cage. He is unable to display his strength to the guests. The tiger is described by the poet as being helpless and in agony. He no longer recognises himself as the man he once was.
The poet's objective is to convey that the animal, known for its courage and freedom, are imprisoned and sad because of humans.
