This is pat of my curriculum and i love this poem and at first i thought it was about abuse in a marital relationship but now i think it is more about general patriarchy.

I imagine that the tigers are actually masters by thier own right, while the creator of them is infact enslaved. Here the irony exists.

as adrienne focuses on the tiger she includes colors, which I believe are choosen colors to help focus on happiness and to hope that Aunt Jennifer's marriage will become better. And if any body knows the answer to this question: does Aunt Jennifer die?
