The poem is about the difference between the woman's limited life and liberal tiger.
"Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen, bright topaz denizens of a world of green." The tigers are running with bright sunshine in the nature really freely. "They do not fear the men
beneath the tree;They pace in sleek chivalric certainty." They do nto fear of men and they show their dignity when they are walking. They looks really huge.
"Aunt Jennifer's fingers fluttering through her wool find even the ivory needle hard to pull. the massive weight of Uncle's weddingband sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand." It is Jennifer's wedding and the limited life is starting with this marriage.
When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie still ringed with ordeals she was masterd by." Even she is dead, she is owned by her husband and she need to keep her ordeal for her life and her husband and her marriage.
"The tigers in the panel that she made will go on prancing, proud and unafraid." However, the tiger is not going to live limited life, keep doing what she need to do and keep her dignity. The tiger is different from Aunt Jennifer's real life. I believe that the tiger is the animal that she wants to be.
