Answer 1

Picture of Male Chauvinism in Aunt Jennifer's Tiger

Explanation:

• In the poem, ‘Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers’, Aunt Jennifer was constantly  oppressed by her husband.
• She was confined within the four walls of her husband’s house and she was not free to do whatever she wished.
• She felt overburdened by her marital responsibilites.
• Although Aunt Jennifer still tried her best to conquer her fear yet she continued to be traumatised and oppressed by her husband.  
• The weight that lies heavily on Aunt Jennifer’s hand is her wedding band, and this comparison symbolises the harsh and difficult experiences of her married life.
• This is also  associated with her husband as he had traumatised her.
