oppression of women and lesbians to the
forefront of poetic discourse.”
• Rich went on to write the introduction to the
published volume.
THEME OF THE POEM
• The theme of women and feminist can be
found in this poem. “Aunt Jennifer’s Tiger’s
sound like a bead of good times. In reality ,it
is about a woman whose life has been limited
by the male –dominated society in which she
live.
CENTRAL IDEA OF THE POEM
• The central idea of the poem “Aunt Jeniffer’s
Tigers “ by Adrienne Rich is how the power of
the patriarchy controls womens’s forms but not
their minds. The poem makes this point by
presenting the wild, interesting and powerful
tigers embroidered by Aunt Jennifer and
contrasting them with Aunt Jennifer, the
oppresed wife.
