When the poet describes the tiger, the tone appears to be optimistic and cheery, but when the poet mentions aunt Jennifer, the tone becomes sad and dreary.
Explanation:
- Adrienne Rich's poem "Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" explores how patriarchal power controls women's bodies but not their thoughts.
- The poem illustrates this notion by juxtaposing Aunt Jennifer's embroidered wild, intriguing, and powerful tigers with Aunt Jennifer, the oppressed wife.
- The author's attitude regarding Aunt Jennifer is also compassionate. The poet employs a variety of evocative imagery and symbols to portray an elderly woman who has endured painful events as well as terrible and frightening occasions during her married life.
