Aunt Jennifer's Tigers

Aunt Jennifer's Tigers|  Explanation in Hindi


Aunt Jennifer's Tigers

Tiger

By Adrienne Rich
CBSE NCERT CLASS XII ENGLISH Poem

In this poem Adrienne Rich has illustrated her feminist concern. In a male dominated society, a woman of her time was only supposed to be  a dutiful homemaker. Through the world of Aunt Jennifer, this poem tells us about her desire to free herself from the clutches of abusive marriage and patriarchal society.
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance
across a screen,
Bright topaz denizens of a
world of green
They do not fear the men
beneath the tree;
They pace in sleek chivalric
certainty.

Explanation:
In this poem someone is a speaker whose aunt named Aunt Jennifer has been described here. It is  supposed that speaker is a lady or even a child. Aunt is embroidering Tigers which are prancing on tapestry. They seem walking with heavy and certain steps. They are yellow and bright like Cristal. They live in green and dense forest. They are not afraid of men under the tree. Meaning that men are just men for them, nothing to worry. They walk with sleek, chivalric and definite steps.

Explanation in Hindi:
इस poem में एक बोलने वाला है जिसकी आंटी का नाम Aunt Jennifer बताई गई है। Aunt एक पैनल पर कढ़ाई से टाईगर बना रही है । वे ऊँचे ऊँचे कदमों से आगे बढ़ रहे है। वे पुखराज की भांति पीले और चमकदार हैं। वे हरे  और घने जंगलों में निवास करते है। वे पेड़ के नीचे खड़े पुरुषों से भी नहीं डरते हैं।

2. Aunt Jennifer's finger fluttering
through her wool
Find even the ivory needle hard
to pull
The massive weight of Uncle's
wedding band
Sits heavily upon Aunt
Jennifer's hand
Explanation:
In this stenza we know that Aunt Jennifer is afraid of something. Though it is not clear, she is afraid of her husband. Her fingers are trembling with fear it seems. Perhaps Uncle is a dominating person who doesn't care about her. This indicates that she has not a happy married life. She is unsatisfied with their relationship. Her fingers are unable to pull even the needle it seems. Uncle's (her husband) dominating nature has become a burden in their marriage. Their bond of marriage is just like a band which is very hard to carry on like this.
Keeping Quiet : Keeping Quiet Summary In Hindi
Explanation in Hindi:

Aunt किसी चीज से डरी हुई प्रतीत होती है स्पष्ट तो नही है पर वो अपनी पति से डरी हुई प्रतीत होती है। उसकी उंगलियां डर से कांप रही है। उसे अपनी उंगलियों से कढाई की सुई खींचना भी मुश्किल हो रहा है। शायद अंकल बहुत डराने वाले व्यक्ति है और इसी बजह से उनकी शादी एक बोझ की तरह हो गयी है । उनका वैवाहिक सम्बन्ध किसी पट्टे की भांति ही गया है जिसे निभाना मुश्किल है।

3. When Aunt is dead, her terrified
hands will lie
Still ringed with ordeals she
was mastered by
The tigers in the panel that she
made
Will go on prancing, proud and
unafraid.

Explanation:
In the last stenza, speaker imagined something very hard.  When Aunt Jennifer  will be dead, her terrified hands will lie still. Even after death, her hands will be surrounded by the work her husband ordered her throughout life. Their relationship is like that of  master and slave where uncle is master and aunt is slave. After her death, Tigers she has made on the panel will continue walking proudly and without any fear. Thus aunt will die one day but her work of art will remain for ever.
In short, aunt has made Tigers on a screen which are opposite to her own character. Perhaps she reflects her own desire to live like these tigers which she couldn't. May she wants to show the dominating nature of her husband who dominated her.
My Mother At Sixty Six Summary In Hindi
Explanation in Hindi:
Poet ये कल्पना कर रहा है कि यदि Aunt की मृत्यु भी हो गयी तो भी वह शायद उन्ही क्रियाकलापों में घिरी रहेगी जिनसे वह पूरी उम्र घिरी रही। ये सारे काम उसने अपने पति के आदेश पर किये हैं। उनका सम्बन्ध मालिक और दास के जैसा प्रतीत होता है। उसकी मृत्यु के बाद भी ये टाइगर पहले की भांति बड़े गर्व से जीते रहेंगे और उन्हें किसी की परवाह नही होगी। उसकी मृत्यु के बाद भी उसका ये आर्ट सदा बना रहेगा।
