Question

what does the poet make a contrast between the tiger in the cage with tiger of the forest​

Answer 1

The poet begins by saying that the tiger has only a few steps to walk around in his cage. He contrasts this with the vast areas of land the tiger should be lurking in around the jungle. The poet further says that the tiger should be sliding through the long grass in the wild.

Answer 2

Answer:-

The poet is using many things to contrast between the Tiger in the cage with a tiger in the forest . They includes:-

• The poet says that the Tiger in the zoo can only make a few steps inside in his cage , but if he was at his home in the forest he would have been roaming around freely through the forest .

• The rage of the Tiger in the rage is quiet but if he was in the forest , where he was free his rage would have been high.

• If he was in the forest he would have been hunting for plum deers at the waterhole , but inside the cage at the zoo he can only eat something if he was feed by the zookeepers.

• In the forest he would have been terrorizing the villages, but at the zoo inside the cage none is afraid of him and he is an exhibit there.

• He would have been hunting if he was in the forest , while he stares at the stars and hears the sounds of patrolling cars sitting inside the cage.
