  • Wedding band: symbol of oppression in an unhappy marriage/ Ringed means encircled or trapped, losing individuality and freedom
  • Aunt Jennifer: a typical victim of male oppression in an unhappy marriage, who suffers loss of individuality, dignity and personal freedom silently. She becomes dependent, fearful and frail 
  •  Tigers:  symbolize untamed free spirit. Here they are antithesis of their creator‟s personality. They pace and prance freely, proudly, fearless, confident and majestic in their bearing. The use of colours implies that Aunt Jennifer's tigers and their land are more vital and enjoy a sense of freedom far greater than her. Yellow (bright topaz) connotes the sun and fierce energy, while green reminds one of spring and vitality
  • Embroidery: symbol of creative expression. The artwork expresses the Aunt‟s suppressed desires and becomes her escape from the oppressive reality of her life
