Chris Ernissee Lisa Scott English 102 April 4‚ 2013 A Unhappy Life In Adrienne Rich’s poem‚ “Living in Sin” a woman is looking back on her relationship.

Adrienne Rich’s poem ‘Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers’ is about how Aunt Jennifer is becoming fragile and potentially old‚ but Rich used the idea of Aunt Jennifer’s tapestry and the tigers as some form of release‚ as the poem suggests that she is tightly governed by her husband. The phrases ‘massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band’ and ‘sits heavily’. Later on in the poem‚ in the last stanza‚ Rich uses the ring as a metaphor again‚ ‘still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by’. By using the word ‘ringed’
