Solution

The title, “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers”, suggests that the poem is about Aunt Jennifer’s knitted tigers that, with their chivalric, ferocious, bright and carefree attitude, become an alternate world of her creation. The tigers are the only means of free expression in her life, which is otherwise burdened by fear and struggles of the married life.

There are many other poems written about tigers, some of which are given below.

“The Tiger” by William Blake

“Tiger” by Alec Derwent Hope

“Tiger Drinking at Forest Pool” by Ruth Padel
