What is the summary of the poem the tiger in the zoo in class X
Answers
Answer:
The poet of this poem is Leslie Norris. The poem is about a tiger that is very beautiful and is walking in his little cage. He is having beautiful stripes on his skin and has velvet-like soft paws. But he is not happy and is quite angry in the cage. The poet says that the tiger may try to hide behind the long grass, but here he is not able to do so. Actually nothing is happening naturally. He is in a strong cage and so he is helpless. He cannot show his power to the visitors. Poet is describing the tiger as being powerless and agonized. Cage life has totally changed his personality.
Thus the intention of the poet is to say that the animal, famous for its fearlessness and freedom is confined and sad only due to human beings.
