writing. At first glance‚ one might assume that Adrienne Rich’s poem‚ "Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers‚" is about an old feeble woman‚ who is depressed about her husband’s death. So‚ she creates something beautiful to replace him. However‚ in a more in-depth reading you see a woman suppressed by her husband.
