Two contrasting worlds in Aunt Jennifer's Tigers

  Q9. What kind of two contrasting worlds have been created in the poem ‘Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers’ by Adrienne Rich?

 Ans. Adrienne Rich creates two worlds in this poem. One is of beautiful tigers moving proudly and confidently in the world of green. The second one is Aunt Jennifer’s. She is shown as a weak, old, and terror-stricken woman. The tigers are bright and yellow against the green background. They are the symbols of power and fearlessness. But, the woman in the poem in the man-dominated world is old timid, suppressed dependent, and unconfident.
