Aunt Jennifer's Tigers MCQ

Aunt Jennifer's Tigers addresses the constraints faced by women in married life. The poem describes Aunt Jennifer doing embroidery, with her hands fluttering through the wool. Though she seems calm on the surface, she is surrounded by the "ordeals" and responsibilities of married life. These weigh upon her like a heavy wedding ring. However, in her embroidery she depicts tigers - creatures that represent strength, pride and freedom - contrasting with her constrained reality and suppressed desires. The poem suggests marriage imposed a loss of autonomy and brought fear to Aunt Jennifer's life.
